Transretinal Pigment Migration: An Optical Coherence Tomographic Study

as noted by organization of the vitreous overlying the optic nerve presumedly resulted in macular detachment and visual loss. Plasminassisted vitrectomy was successful in reestablishing the patient’s normal macular anatomy and restoring her baseline visual acuity. When present and confirmed by careful clinical examination, including adjunct methods such as optical coherence tomography, subclinical tractional retinal detachment in patients with adult retinopathy of prematurity with otherwise unexplained visual loss can be successfully treated by vitrectomy. The results from using optical coherence tomography in our case explain a circumstance that for many years had been observed yet was inadequately understood by physicians managing adult patients with retinopathy of prematurity.
