OBJECTIVE: To describe the association between @entity2994 (CRVO) and the development of @entity1781 (vitreopapillary) traction, as verified by optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS: In a prospective, noncomparative, observational @entity1 series, 3 @entity1 aged 51 to 64 years developed an ischemic type of CRVO. One @entity1 underwent cannulation of the central retinal vein with injection of a tissue plasminogen activator. In each eye, the contour of the optic nerve head could not be accurately detected because of overlying fibrous tissue. Each @entity1 underwent OCT examination 6 to 10 months (average, 8.3 months) after the occlusive event. RESULTS: Optic disc traction was found by OCT in the 3 @entity1 . In each, the disc was elevated, associated with either incomplete posterior vitreous detachment (2 eyes) or vitreopapillary fibrous membrane (1 eye). Secondary peripapillary retinal traction and macular or @entity1713 developed (" @entity1781 traction syndrome"). These findings were less marked, or not evident, on both clinical examination and ocular ultrasonography. CONCLUSIONS: Optic disc traction and secondary localized @entity1713 can develop after ischemic CRVO and may contribute to the poor visual acuity. This syndrome should merit special attention before surgery for CRVO is planned. The use of OCT was helpful to diagnose this syndrome.
