Accuracy of biomicroscopy, ultrasonography and spectral-domain OCT in detection of complete posterior vitreous detachment

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of pre-operative biomicroscopy (BM), ultrasonography (US), and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for determining complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) confirmed by intraoperative findings of triamcinolone acetonide-assisted pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Design: This was a prospective, consecutive, interventional case series. Methods: The study included all patients admitted for surgical treatment of epiretinal membrane (ERM) and macular hole (MH). Presence of complete PVD was determined one day before PPV using BM, US, and SD-OCT. Preoperative findings were compared to PVD status determined during PPV. Results: A total of 123 eyes of 123 patients were included in the study. Indications for PPV included ER in 57 (46.34%), full thickness macular hole in 57 (46.34%), and lamelar macular hole in 9 (7.32%) patients. Complete PVD during PPV was observed in 18 (31.58%; 95% CI:18.72–49.91) patients with ERM and 13 (19.7%; 95% CI: 10.49..., This was a prospective, consecutive, interventional case series based at the tertiary care Department of Ophthalmology, University Clinical Center Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study included all patients admitted for surgical treatment of epiretinal membrane (ERM) and macular hole (MH) in the period from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019. Exclusion criteria were age younger than 18, dense cataract or opaque ocular media that precluded fundus visualization, vitreous haze or bleeding, history of ocular trauma, and previous vitrectomy. The current study was approved by the University Clinical Center Tuzla Ethics Committee. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients after receiving an explanation of the investigative nature and intent of the study and tenets of the Helsinki Declaration were followed. As a part of preoperative preparation, all patients underwent a complete systemic evaluation which included general laboratory findings and a complete systemic examinatio..., , # Accuracy of biomicroscopy, ultrasonography and spectral-domain OCT in detection of complete posterior vitreous detachment ### GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Title of Dataset: ACCURACY OF BIOMICROSCOPY, ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND SPECTRAL-DOMAIN OCT IN DETECTION OF COMPLETE POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT 2. Author Information ​A.
