Abstract
Subtle, localized perifoveal vitreous detachment may cause anterior traction on the foveola, resulting in multicystoid foveal thickening without macular hole formation or capillary leakage. OCT and ultrasound imaging are useful in detecting the detached posterior hyaloid when clinically invisible. Foveal thickening resolves and visual acuity typically improves after the relief of vitreofoveolar traction.
