Spectral-optical coherence tomography before and after vitrectomy for vitreomacular traction. a: A 78-year-old female presented with visual acuity 0.04 and metamorphopsia. SD-OCT examination showed the vitreomacular traction (VMT) with an outer lamellar macular hole and an abnormal foveal contour. b: Seven days after the vitrectomy with ILM peeling visual acuity increased to 0.08. SD-OCT showed the full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) with intraretinal cystoid spaces on the both edges of the hole. c: One month later the patient presented with increased of visual acuity to 0.2. SD-OCT clearly documented closed macular hole with an elevation of the photoreceptor layer and of the external limiting membrane (ELM) in the fovea region and intraretinal microcystoid spaces. d: 5 months later visual acuity improved to 0.5. SD-OCT examination showed normal fovea contour without subretinal fluid with no evidence of space in the outer layers of the retina.
