A patient had successful retinal detachment repair during the active phase of serologically confirmed Zika virus infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case documenting a necessary vitreoretinal surgery in a patient with active Zika disease. As more traveling and domestic patients become infected, data on surgical management during active Zika viremia may prove useful.
