PURPOSE: To study the morphological findings of vitreoretinal traction maculopathy caused by retinal vascular diseases and their changes after vitrectomy.
METHODS: Optical coherence tomographic images of 13 eyes of 12 cases were evaluated before and after vitrectomy.
RESULTS: The tractional force appeared to be mainly tangential with a possible anterior vector in 11 eyes, and mainly in the anterior direction in 2 eyes. After surgery, the increased foveal thickness decreased markedly in all eyes, and visual acuity improved in 8 eyes.
CONCLUSION: Preoperative optical coherence tomographic examination can reveal the fine structure of vitreoretinal separations and adherences caused by retinal vascular diseases. These observations permitted better surgical planning and results.
