| Popis: | Anomalous posterior vitreous detachment occurs, when the extent of vitreous liquefaction exceeds the degree of weakening of vitreo-retinal adherence and traction is exerted at the vitreo-retinal interface. In the macular region vitreo-macular traction is obviously correlated with macular disorders like macular pucker, epiretinal membrane, macular hole formation, and vitreo-macular traction syndrome. The pathogenesis of diabetic macular edema and exudative age-related macular degeneration is more complex. However, the effectivity of vitrectomy in diabetic macular edema and high incidence of vitreoretinal adhesions in exudative age-related macular degeneration underscore the important role of the vitreous in the pathogenesis of these diseases. |
