Spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction following ranibizumab (Lucentis) injection

Spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction syndrome in diabetic patients is a rare phenomenon that has been poorly described in the literature.

Case presentation.

The authors present a case of spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction following intravitreal administration of ranibizumab.

In patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome and diabetic macular edema, the combination of the possible vitreous liquefaction and mechanical increase of vitreous volume caused by an intravitreal injection with a degree of reduction in retinal thickness caused by the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition could play a role in the resolution of vitreomacular traction.
