INTRODUCTION: Vitrectomy can be performed to release the anteroposterior and tangential vitreoretinal tractions that sometimes create @entity1103 . The present study evaluates the efficacy of this treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied 19 operated eyes in 15 @entity1 with @entity6 over 17 months. The group's mean age was 61.4 years. There were 11 @entity1 and 4 @entity1 , with 13 cases of noninsulinodependent and two cases of insulinodependent @entity6 . A vitrectomy was done by the same surgeon to detach posterior hyaloidal and inner limiting membranes. Two groups were defined and compared, one including @entity1 whose visual acuity had improved and the other, @entity1 with no improvement. We used Student's t test and Leven's test from SPSS. RESULTS: Improvement in visual acuity was observed in 57.8% of the eyes studied, stabilization was achieved in 26.3%, and regression was noted in 15.7%. @entity1103 resolved in 68.42% of eyes. Furthermore, inner limiting membrane colored by @entity3194 was removed. An angiographic improvement was noted in 68.42% of eyes. There was no significant difference between the two groups allowing a definition of success criteria. CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy for @entity1103 is currently under study and seems effective given its encouraging results.
