(A) Schematic sketch of another type of partial posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) without a thickened posterior vitreous cortex (TPVC). The vitreous gel was attached to the macular area through a round defect in the posterior vitreous cortex. (B) In a patient who complained of floaters in his visual field, the fundus examination by indirect ophthalmoscopy did not reveal retinal disease. The biomicroscopic vitreous examination revealed complete PVD except at the macular area. The vitreous gel remained attached to the macular area through a round defect in the posterior vitreous cortex. Upon ocular movement, the posterior vitreous cortex (arrows) was not condensed and had a smooth, wavy motion. This case also was classified as partial PVD without TPVC.
