Abstract

In this case report we aimed to present the outer retinal structural changes secondary to vitreomacular traction (VMT). Outer retinal structural changes occurring secondary to VMT due to incomplete posterior vitreous detachment were described retrospectively with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in 3 eyes of 3 patients. The patients ranged in age from 58 to 65 years and best corrected visual acuity in the 3 eyes was 4/10, 8/10, and 9/10. All of the patients were symptomatic and exhibited outer retinal microholes at the fovea extending from the retinal pigment epithelium to outer limiting membrane, with an overlying operculum on the detached posterior hyaloid membrane over the macula following spontaneous resolution of VMT. In the mean follow-up period of 32 months, the outer retinal microholes decreased in size but did not completely resolve. As demonstrated in these cases, VMT can cause small outer retinal layer defects without signs of full-thickness macular hole. These lesions can cause symptoms and affect visual function, and may be permanent structural changes.

Özet

Bu yazıda, vitreomaküler traksiyon (VMT) sonrasında retina dış katlarında oluşan yapısal değişiklikleri sunmak amaçlanmıştır. İnkompletposterior vitreus dekolmanı sürecinde ortaya çıkan VMT nedeniyle retina dış katlarında yapısal değişiklikler gelişen 3 hastanın 3 gözüneait spektral domain optik koherens tomografi (SD-OKT) bulguları retrospektif olarak tanımlanmıştır. Yaşları 58-65 yıl arasında değişen3 hastanın 3 gözünde en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri sırası ile 4/10, 8/10 ve 9/10 olup, hepsi de semptomatik olan hastalardaVMT’nin spontan olarak gerilemesini takiben maküla üzerindeki posterior hyaloid trasesinde bir operkulumun belirdiği ve foveada retinapigment epiteli iç sınırından, dış limitan membrana kadar uzanan dış retina tabakalarında bir mikro defektin oluştuğu saptanmıştır.Ortalama 32 aylık izlem sürecinde bu defektlerin küçüldüğü ancak tamamen kapanmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Olgularımızda da görüldüğüüzere; VMT, tam-kat maküla deliği bulgusu olmaksızın dış retina katlarında mikro defektlere neden olabilir. Semptomatik olan ve görselfonksiyonları etkileyen bu defektlerin kalıcı yapısal değişiklikler olabileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
