PURPOSE: To report a case with type I osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with intravitreal opacities who underwent 25-gauge sutureless vitrectomy. METHODS: A 2.5-year-old girl with OI type I who presented with intravitreal opacities underwent 25-gauge sutureless vitrectomy. RESULTS: The 25-gauge sutureless vitrectomy system, which is less traumatic, was performed in a patient with OI type I. Nine months postoperatively, funduscopic examination under general anesthesia showed a healthy optic nerve and retina without detachment. Intraocular pressure by Tonopen was 10 mmHg. CONCLUSION: The use of 25-gauge sutureless vitrectomy to avoid scleral suturing and minimize surgical trauma is an option in pediatric patients with associated thin sclera.
