case_images: Extrafoveal multifocal vitreoretinal traction and pseudophakic macular edema as detected by the spectral-domain OCT (Pt. 1). A + B. The clinical picture and macular map (the right circle map below the fundus picture) illustrate macular edema located centrally and inferonasally to the fovea (purple color). The yellow squares in A and B delineate the scanned area (6 x 6 mm). C + D. The B-mode presents two extrafoveal vitreoretinal traction membranes, marked by arrowhead in C and by an arrow in D. The manually marked vertical yellow lines indicate the traction sites; the OCT software automatically marks the anatomical locations in blue crosses, in A & B. Each of the underlying retinal edema sites (asterix) is in continuum with the central macula (seen in the map in A & B). E. 3-D image reconstruction reveals a relatively thick connection between the two vitreoretinal traction membranes associated with diffuse macular edema (asterix); the purple vertical line marks the foveal site. The arrowhead shows the inferior membrane (shown at C) and the arrow shows the superior one (shown in D). F. 3-D image reconstruction (area of 8.2 mm X 3 mm) includes the macula (the fovea is marked by the purple line), the superior traction site (arrow) and the optic nerve head (ONH; star). Multifocal vitreous membranes are associated with the ONH.

case_images: Both the B-mode video clips of the SD-OCT and their 3-D image reconstructions enabled fast and unambiguous detection of extrafoveal traction membranes in eyes No. 1 & 2 (Figs. 1, 2). This observation could be depicted from the macular maps and the 3-D image reconstructions of the SD-OCT (Fig. 1 and supplementary video clip 1).
case_images: Extrafoveal multifocal vitreoretinal traction associated with pseudophakic CME as detected by the SD-OCT (Pt. 2). A + B. The clinical picture and the accompanying small false-color map (below the fundus picture), as detected by 8.2mm X 3 mm scan area (the colored rectangle) illustrate macular edema (red and yellow colors). The blue crosses, one in A and one in B, demonstrate two extrafoveal vitreoretinal traction sites. One retinal edema site (in B) is shown by the false-color map to be in continuum with the central macula. C + D. The B-mode (C) and the 3-D image reconstruction (D) reveal two sites under traction by one continuous vitreous membrane (arrow). Each traction site is manually marked by a vertical white line, and its retinal location is shown automatically by yellow crosses in A & B. The optic nerve (ON) is seen in D.

case_images: Both the B-mode video clips of the SD-OCT and their 3-D image reconstructions enabled fast and unambiguous detection of extrafoveal traction membranes in eyes No. 1 & 2 (Figs. 1, 2). The retinal edema that underlined one of the two detectable traction sites was in continuum with the central macular edema in that eye (Fig. 2).
case_images: Extrafoveal multifocal vitreoretinal traction associated with pseudophakic CME as detected by a time-domain OCT (Pt. 3). (A) Vitreous traction membrane (asterix) located at the papillomacular bundle area, in proximity to the ONH (not shown). An underlying localized subretinal fluid (star) and a diffuse macular edema are associated with the traction membrane. (B) A second vitreoretinal traction membrane (arrowhead) is located temporo-superiorly to the fovea; a retinal edema underlies it. (C) The 6-mm false-color and quantitative thickness macular maps disclose diffuse macular edema associated with two different tractions sites (marked by arrowhead and asterix). The central sub-field thickness is 370 microm. (D) The quantitative macular map of the normal controls (n = 12).
