Abstract
Purpose
To report optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal thickness analyzer (RIA) findings in a case of spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome.
METHODS
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the macular region was performed with OCT and RTA.
Results
In the left eye of a 34-year-old woman with blurred vision, OCT and RTA examination showed a discrete linear signal anterior to the retina with attachment at the macula and secondary cystoid macular changes. OCT and RTA examination showed an increase in macular thickness (350 μm). Six months later the patient showed a spontaneous complete recovery of visual acuity. Vitreomacular traction and cystoid changes were no longer detectable at OCT and RTA examination; retinal thickness was normal (205 μm) and a posterior vitreous detachment was visible.
CONCLUSIONS
Both OCT and RTA were useful tools for making the diagnosis of vitreomacular traction syndrome and demonstrating the effect of spontaneous vitreomacular traction release with resolution of cystoid macular changes.
