Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome is a disorder of the vitreo-retinal interface characterized by: (i) an incomplete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), (ii) an abnormally strong adherence of the posterior hyaloid face to the macula and

2024年8月27日 · Vitreomacular traction (VMT) occurs when vitreous in the aging eye doesn’t detach completely from the macula. VMT can cause vision loss if left untreated.

The most common symptoms experienced by patients with VMT syndrome are: Decreased sharpness of vision; Photopsia, when a person sees flashes of light in the eye; Micropsia, when objects appear smaller than their actual size; Metamorphopsia, when vision is distorted to make a grid of straight lines appear wavy or blank

2025年1月20日 · Vitreomacular traction (VMT) is characterised by abnormal adhesion of the posterior cortical vitreous with the macula causing distortion of the foveal contour and associated...

2013年10月10日 · Pars plana vitrectomy remains the primary treatment option for many patients with VMT or IMH; for the latter, peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) of the...

There are instances where a PVD is incomplete, leaving the vitreous partially attached to the retina, and causing tractional (pulling) forces that can cause anatomical damage. The resulting condition is called vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome. macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and cystoid macular edema.

2011年10月15日 · VMT syndrome leads to decreased vision, metamorphopsia, microsia and/or photopsia. Macular traction secondary to the incomplete PVD creates distortion and/or retinal striae at the macula.

Initially, it usually occurs with vitreo-macular attachment (VMA) before separation but can be complicated by vitreo-macular traction (VMT) which can cause a macular hole. This Clinical Management Guideline outlines the aetiology, signs and symptoms and evidence-based management options for diagnosing PVD, VMA, VMT and macular hole.

Focal VMT usually leads to macular hole formation, tractional cystoid macular edema and foveal retinal detachment, while broad VMT is associated with epiretinal membranes, diffuse retinal thickening and impaired foveal depression recovery.

2022年1月1日 · Vitreomacular traction (VMT) refers to an incomplete vitreoretinal separation resulting in retinal structural changes without a full-thickness macular hole. With the advent of more sensitive imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography, the pathophysiology...
