Fig. 1. А. IR reflectance image of fundus: protruding grey lesion with multiple sites of vitreoretinal traction in the area of the central retinal vein superior temporal branch. Partial hemophthalmos. B. OCT scan of retina: disorganization of the inner retinal layers in the protruding lesion area (maxi peaks, yellow arrow)
Fig. 2. OCT scan of retina: hyperreflective band in the central area of retinal surface, which is tightly attached to the internal limiting membrane, normal macular profile
Fig. 3. А. IR reflectance image of fundus a week after the subtotal vitrectomy: restored blood vessels calibre in the superior temporal branch, relieved vitreoretinal traction, shrunk protruding lesion (optic disk d = 0.5; red arrow) B. OCT scan of retina: single protruding lesion on the retinal surface (yellow arrow) with no vitreoretinal traction, restored anatomic structure of retinal layers
