	<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Title:</span></b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Osseous Metaplasia Leading to Traction Retinal
Detachment in the nonphthisical eye of Young Boy with Cytomegalovirus Retinitis</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. </span><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Purpose:</span></b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> To
report a case of intraocular bone formation in an 11</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">year</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">old boy with a history cytomegalovirus
(CMV) retinitis secondary to immunosuppression following Bone Marrow
Transplantation due to hyper Immunoglobulin G (IgG) syndrome.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Methods:</span></b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> An 11</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">year</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">old male presented with decreased
vision in his better seeing eye. Clinical examination and Bscan ultrasound
discovered a<span> tractional </span>retinal detachment with
a large subretinal lesion. The patient was taken for surgical intervention.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Results:</span></b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> The
subretinal lesion was removed during surgery, and histopathologic evaluation
revealed mature lamellar bone.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Conclusion:</span></b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> This case shows that mature
intraocular bone can be associated with tractional retinal detachment in a
nonphthisical eye.</span>
