Lens-sparing vitrectomy for pediatric tractional retinal detachment in homozygous protein C deficiency
Congenital PCD is a rare life-threatening disease that usually presents in infancy with purpura fulminans or disseminated intravascular coagulation. However, ophthalmologists should be aware of this condition, as its ocular signs may appear first. Early recognition, laser therapy of the attached ischemic retina and early vitrectomy may be successful in achieving good anatomical and functional outcomes.
