Résumé
To present a case of chorioretinitis sclopetaria with attached retina in spite of performing deep vitrectomy without retinopexy. A 10-year-old boy was referred due to air-gun injury to the left eye. Right eye had visual acuity of 20/16, MG, and normal slit lamp examination and fbndoscopy. In the left eye, visual acuity was count fingers at 50 cm, MG[+++], anterior segment examination revealed massive subconjunctival hemorrhage and chemosis. On B-Scan echography there was a suspicious retinal detachment. We performed standard pars plana deep vitrectomy with prophylactic band without endolaser retinopexy. The retina was attached until last follow up at 14 month. In spite of severe defects in the retina and choroid in chorioretinitis sclopetaria, retinal detachment does not usually occur due to spontaneous retinopexy and scar formation
