Functional and anatomical results of vitreopapillary traction after vitrectomy.

摘要

Vitreopapillary traction (VPT) appears as a pseudopapilloede-ma with strong adhesions at the margin of the optic disc and plays an important role in a number of different diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion or toxocara (de Bustros et al. 1987; Kroll et al. 1995; Karatas et al. 2005). Its surgical release by vitrectomy has been debated in the past (Small et al. 1989). We present a young patient who developed serious VPT after chronic panuveitis.
