Vitreopapillary traction a missed or underdiagnosed entity: Case report

Abstract

We report two cases of pseudo disc edema due to vitreopapillary traction. The first is 50-year- old female who had been evaluated for disc edema, with normal neurological examination and imaging study. On presentation we noted the presence of glial tissue at disc bilaterally and optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed vitreopapillary traction (VPT). Second case is a 63-year old female who presented with history of unilateral blurring of vision in right eye. On examination she had cataract in right eye with blurring of bilateral disc margins. There was no colour vision or field defect and OCT was supportive of VPT.
