Vitreomacular traction syndrome (VTS) is a disorder caused by incomplete posterior vitreous detachment with persistent traction on the macula that produces in most eyes cystoid changes and decreased visual acuity.1 We report the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a patient in whom clinical findings were characteristic of VTS, and the anatomical outcome of successful surgery.
Report of a Case
A 67-year-old woman was referred to our institution for assessment of visual loss. She complained of a 2-month history of blurred vision in the right eye. Visual acuity was 20/80 OD and 20/25 OS. Fundus examination by biomicroscopy revealed macular cysts with posterior hyaloid attachment at the posterior pole and no epiretinal membrane in the right eye. Fluorescein angiography confirmed macular cystoid edema. B-scan ultrasonography revealed vitreous adhesion to the optic nerve and macula with clear vitreoretinal separation peripheral to the vitreofoveal junction in the right eye. The left eye was normal.
