Bilateral retinal detachment in reactive arthritis: coincidence or association?

Retinal lesions are not typically found in reactive arthritis. However, a previous case report documented co-existing retinal detachment and reactive arthritis. We report here a similar case of a 32-year-old male patient with concurrent non-traumatic bilateral retinal detachment and HLA-B27 associated reactive arthritis after urogenital and gastrointestinal infections. Our report substantiates a potential rare association of retinal detachment and reactive arthritis.
