Vitelliform Vitreoretinopathy: Clinical Implications of the Vitreomacular Interface

Abstract

Pathologies of the vitreomacular interface are implicated in a variety of sight-threatening clinical entities. The authors present a photo essay of a case of Terson syndrome with a striking premacular dehemoglobinized hemorrhage with ovoid morphology. This unique “vitelliform” finding highlights the distinct structure of the premacular vitreous space and its important implications in both health and disease.
