| Riassunto: | The nature of the vitreoretinal interface in conditions like diabetic macular edema (DME) remains incompletely understood. Furthermore, it is not clear what the role of pharmacological enzymatic vitreolysis will play in cases of vitreomacular traction (VMT) associated with macular disease like DME. We describe the spontaneous resolution of VMT in 2 patients with DME. As both surgical and pharmacologic interventions have been suggested to treat DME in the setting of VMT, we feel that a clarification of the nomenclature and reporting of these cases of natural history may be useful in more fully understanding the complex decision-making involved when determining whether to treat this subset of patients. |
