Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to report a novel finding of posterior subhyaloid precipitates (PSPs) in two patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.

Methods: A small case series was conducted.

Results: Clinical findings, treatment, and follow-up of two patients with CMV and PSPs are presented.

Conclusions: Inflammatory precipitates may collect in the posterior subhyaloid space in acute CMV retinitis and resolve with treatment.
