| Description |
Vitreopapillary traction refers to a vitreal membrane pulling at adherent areas of the optic nerve leading to elevation, possible hemorrhage, and decline in visual function. Definitive treatment is a surgical pars plana vitrectomy with separation of the posterior hyaloid and release of the vitreal traction. We report the rare case of spontaneous dehiscence of the traction band leading to resolution of the vitreopapillary traction and improvement in optic disc elevation. |
