Optical coherence tomography and retinal thickness analyzer features of spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome: a case report.

Purpose: To report the Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT) and the Retinal Tickness Analyzer (RTA) findings in a case of spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the macular region were performed with the Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT) and the Retinal Thickness Analyzer (RTA). Results: In the left eye of a 34-year old woman complaining of 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 of 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 m) and a posterior vitreous-detachment was visible. Conclusions: both OCT and RTA were useful tools for making diagnosis of vitreomacular traction syndrome and demonstrating the effect of spontaneous vitreomacular traction release with resolution of cystoid macular changes.
