ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: We describe a unique case of bilateral spontaneous vitreous base detachment in a female patient with neurofibromatosis Type 1 and no known history of ocular injury. This serves to add further to the medical literature. DISCUSSION: Vitreous base detachments usually occur after significant ocular trauma. There is only one other published case of this occurring spontaneously also in a female patient with neurofibromatosis Type 1. CONCLUSION: This suggests a rare association between neurofibromatosis Type 1 and spontaneous detachment of the vitreous base.
