Abstract
In previous report, the posterior vitreous detachment was found to be an important factor in progression of idiopathic macular cyst to macular hole. Our study provides the possibility of supporting role of the posterior vitreous detachment in formation and progression of traumatic macular cyst, and the vitrectomy was found to be a valuable procedure to prevent the progression of traumatic macular cyst, combined with posterior vitreous detachment. After posterior vitrectomy in 2 eyes of traumatic macular cyst with posterior vitreous detachment, traumatic macular cyst did not progress to macular hole, and visual acuity of 2 eyes was improved from finger count/30cm to 20/200 and 20/100 to 20/50(follow up period: 6-7 months).
