Introduction.
To describe anatomical and functional features in one patient with 10 years of severe vitreomacular traction syndrome (VTS) without functional damage demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Patient and Methods.
One patient with a history of 10 years VTS, with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/32, was followed up with OCT.
Follow-up examinations, 3 months for the first year after diagnosis and every 6 months for the subsequent years, were performed.
Results.
Follow-up examinations showed no change anatomically and functionally.
Far and near visual acuity was unchanged.
OCT by Heidelberg Spectralis did not evidence differences from Stratus OCT images.
Conclusion.
VTS can be stable anatomically and functionally for 10 years.
OCT is a valuable diagnostic tool in understanding the configuration of vitreomacular adhesion, followup, and eventually planning the surgical approach for operating on VTS.
