Posterior vitreous detachment is a physiological process that occurs due to complex changes in the vitreous configuration with age. As
the posterior hyaloid membrane cannot be separated from the fovea, it may cause anatomical changes in the retina, a condition called
vitreomacular traction (VMT). Vitreomacular traction can cause complications such as macular holes, pseudocysts, and tractional
retinal detachment. Consequently, this article aims to present a case of subtotal retinal detachment secondary to VMT with multimodal
imaging findings and surgical results.
