Vitreopapillary and vitreomacular traction in proliferative Eales' disease.

Author
Abstract
:

Vitreoretinal interface alterations leading to vitreopapillary and vitreomacular traction in a 29-year case of proliferative Eales' disease is described for the first time. On fundus examination, an ellipsoid area of vitreomacular traction was noted temporal to the optic disc. A triangular-shaped infolding of the retina was observed superior to the fovea. Epiretinal membrane was seen temporal to the disc involving the macula. Imaging by spectral domain optical coherence tomography in the papillomacular bundle region revealed retinoschisis at the level of the outer nuclear layer and confirmed the presence of retinal infolding and epiretinal membrane in the macular area. Three-dimensional imaging documented vitreoretinal interface alterations exquisitely.
