Abstract
Transvitreal fibrin web is an uncommon consequence of pars plana vitrectomy, seen predominantly in diabetic patients. It is an early postoperative response and is treated with topical corticosteroids, although some cases may warrant the use of tissue plasminogen activator intravitreally, or re-surgery as in our case. Fibrin web should be differentiated from endophthalmitis so as to avoid panic and improper management.
