Abstract

Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome is characterized as a partial detachment of the posterior vitreous with persistent adherence to the macula. The dynamic process associated with macular traction may induce a variety of macular conditions including cystoid macular edema (CME), epiretinal membranes (ERM), and macular hole formation. Dilated fundus evaluations as well as Stratus and Cirrus optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Zeiss-Humphrey, Dublin, California) imaging were used to evaluate patients with various maculopathies associated with VMT. The use of the OCT has enhanced the evaluation of the vitreal-retinal interface, leading to a better understanding of VMT. Once thought to be a rare distinct clinical entity, VMT is now considered a spectrum of macular diseases. The understanding of VMT and its role in the pathophysiology of various macular conditions may facilitate diagnosis and management of these conditions.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
