    Vitreoretinal attachments over retinal vessels are normal. Anomalous changes result from multifactorial events, including developmental thinning and retinal degeneration, leading to surface breaks and proliferative lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Science
    • Vitreoretinal Interface Research

    Background:

    • Changes in the retinal surface near large superficial retinal vessels are often attributed to anomalous vitreoretinal attachments.
    • The exact nature and cause of these lesions have been debated.
    • Understanding the vitreoretinal juncture is crucial for diagnosing retinal conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To ultrastructurally categorize alterations of the vitreoretinal juncture over retinal vessels.
    • To clarify the relationship between these fundamental changes and clinically significant lesions.
    • To investigate the pathogenesis of anomalous vitreoretinal attachments.

    Main Methods:

    • Ultrastructural analysis of the vitreoretinal juncture in the human posterior fundus.

  • Comparison of vitreoretinal attachments over vessels versus adjacent retinal regions.
  • Identification of factors contributing to retinal surface breaks.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference was found in vitreoretinal or vitreolaminar attachments over vessels compared to adjacent areas.
    • Anomalous changes and surface breaks are multifactorial.
    • Initial events include inner limiting lamina thinning, subsurface retinal degeneration, and macrophages.

    Conclusions:

    • Anomalous vitreoretinal attachments over vessels are not inherently different from normal attachments.
    • Retinal surface breaks are initiated by a combination of factors.
    • Vitreous incarceration or epiretinal membrane formation can lead to significant surface peeling and proliferative lesions during posterior vitreous detachment.
