Vitreous Syneresis: An Impending Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) There was suggestion of an evolving posterior vitreous detachment based on the vitreous syneresis seen in the anterior vitreous and symptoms consistent with separation of the vitreous from the retina The patient was instructed to monitor her symptoms closely
Vitreous Hemorrhage: From One Medical Student to Another The vitreous undergoes syneresis as we age, affording the opportunity to peel away from attachments in a process known as a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) When vitreous becomes completely separated from the optic nerve head, a Weiss ring (Figure 4) may be visible on fundus exam A PVD can create enough traction to tear or detach the retina

Vitreous Syneresis: An Impending Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) Clinical Course The patient had no evidence of a retinal tear or detachment in either eye on 360 degree scleral depressed examination There was suggestion of an evolving posterior vitreous detachment based on the vitreous syneresis seen in the anterior vitreous and symptoms consistent with separation of the vitreous from the retina The patient was instructed to monitor her symptoms closely
Erosive vitreoretinopathy - University of Iowa Erosive vitreoretinopathy Contributor: Jesse Vislisel, MD Erosive vitreoretinopathy is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by marked vitreous syneresis, progressive pigmentary retinopathy, and frequent combined traction-rhegmatogenous retinal detachments These are fundus photographs of two siblings with erosive vitreoretinopathy

Distinguishing Features CLINICAL COURSE Based on right eye anterior chamber flare, mid-peripheral intra-retinal hemorrhages, and anterior segment neovascularization, the patient was diagnosed with neovascular glaucoma likely secondary to ocular ischemic syndrome This diagnosis was complicated by the presence of pre-existing non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy bilaterally The patient was given an intravitreal
