ABSTRACT:
Title: Osseous Metaplasia Leading to Traction Retinal
Detachment in the nonphthisical eye of Young Boy with Cytomegalovirus Retinitis. Purpose: To
report a case of intraocular bone formation in an 11-year-old boy with a history cytomegalovirus
(CMV) retinitis secondary to immunosuppression following Bone Marrow
Transplantation due to hyper Immunoglobulin G (IgG) syndrome. Methods: An 11-year-old male presented with decreased
vision in his better seeing eye. Clinical examination and Bscan ultrasound
discovered a tractional retinal detachment with
a large subretinal lesion. The patient was taken for surgical intervention. Results: The
subretinal lesion was removed during surgery, and histopathologic evaluation
revealed mature lamellar bone. Conclusion: This case shows that mature
intraocular bone can be associated with tractional retinal detachment in a
nonphthisical eye.
