Proliferative vitreoretinopathy as a late complication of blunt ocular trauma

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy is associated with severe ocular trauma. In this case, the patient had a markedly delayed onset of proliferative retinopathy resulting from blunt trauma with partial perforation 5 years before. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy as a long-term complication of blunt ocular trauma as well as the treatment options for this disease.
