In two patients, a detachment of the macula occurred following a branch retinal vein occlusion. Vitreoretinal relationships were investigated and documented by biomicroscopic photography. Both eyes showed partial posterior vitreous detachment with dense adhesions to a preretinal membrane at the macula. Vitreous contraction and traction appeared to be responsible for the detachment.
