[Retinal imaging of vitreomacular traction diseases]. / Retinale Bildgebung bei traktiven vitreomakulären Erkrankungen.

Advances in imaging techniques of the retina have substantially enhanced our current understanding of the pathogenesis, morphology and prognosis of vitreomacular retinal diseases. Optical coherence tomography-based criteria and classification systems were recently proposed for uniform diagnoses and treatment recommendations for patients with vitreomacular traction, epiretinal gliosis and the various forms of macular holes. This article provides an overview of the different retinal imaging modalities as well as the currently recommended classification for vitreomacular traction pathologies.
