Abstract

Zonular traction tufts, which exist in 15% of normal population, do not cause retinal detachment by themselves but they can cause traction retinal detaehment when there is traction force added. It is thought that the possibility of development of retinal detaehment increases especially when zonular traetion tufts originate posterior to the vitreous base No case of traction retinal detachment caused by zonular traction tufts has been reported. Here, we report one suspected case of traction retinal detachment induced by zonular traction tufts and lens subluxation.
