![]() ![]() Although VMT is typically treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or intravitreal Ocriplasmin injection, these procedures can be invasive, require capital costs and surgical expertise as in PPV and the success rate is lower as in Ocriplasmin injection. Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) can be divided into 2 shapes according to the pattern of adhesion: V-shaped and J-shaped, the first pattern is associated with better surgical outcomes than the latter. VMT can be classified as focal (≤1500µm) or broad (>1500µm) depending on the diameter of vitreous attachment and as concurrent or isolated based on morphologic finding on OCT images. These glial cells contribute to the contractile forces in VMT. Histopathologic examination of VMT specimens demonstrates a variety of cell types such as astrocytes, myofibroblasts and fibrocytes. The prevalence of isolated idiopathic VMT is approximately 0.6 per 100 000 of the general population. VMT can occur in isolation, or in conjunction with comorbid macular conditions, as macular hole, macular edema, and epiretinal membrane (ERM). Vitreomacular traction (VMT) is defined as posterior vitreomacular attachment with tractional distortion of the perifoveal architecture inducing visual disturbance. Vitreoretinal interface disorders refer to a spectrum of pathologic interactions between the posterior hyaloid and the underlying retinal surface, ranging from innocuous attachment to substantial disruption of retinal integrity.
