Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to report the successful repair of retinal detachment in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta with sutureless 25-gauge vitrectomy. METHODS: This was a single case report. RESULTS: A patient with osteogenesis imperfecta and a retinal detachment was successfully repaired without complication using 25-gauge vitrectomy with a final visual acuity of 20/20. CONCLUSION: In light of abnormal and thin sclera in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, small-gauge sutureless vitrectomy should be considered for the repair of retinal detachment in this subset of patients.
