A 48-year-old male who had undergone right cataract surgery 6 months earlier in a different centre presented with bilateral vision deficiency. Fundus examination revealed bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. We performed pars plana vitrectomy of the right eye, with 16% perfluoropropane gas endotamponade and pneumatic retinopexy of the left eye, with sulphur hexafluoride gas used as the endotamponade agent. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy and recurrent retinal detachment of the right eye occurred 9 weeks postoperatively. The retina reattached spontaneously in approximately 4 weeks. This case demonstrates that the retina can reattach spontaneously within a few weeks after spontaneous separation of tractional forces in recurrent retinal detachment due to post-vitrectomy proliferative vitreoretinopathy.en10.37845/ret.vit.2022.31.47info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle3132712741128414
