Abstract

Posterior hyaloid adherences play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic macular edema (DME). Intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs are presently being used to treat DME. The authors report one case of incomplete posterior hyaloid detachment (PHD) following intravitreal pegaptanib to treat DME. This case shows a combined mechanism of DME resolution by anti VEGF and PHD.
