Abstract

To report optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal thickness analyzer (RTA) findings in a case of spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the macular region was performed with OCT and RTA. 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 microm). 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 microm) and a posterior vitreous detachment was visible. 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.
