title: [Retinal complications of posterior vitreous detachment: retrospective analysis of 3 clinical cases].
abstract: Posterior vitreous detachment is an irreversible consequence of vitreal aging and will be encountered even more frequently as the population grows older. Because vitreous detachments are not always complete and clean, associated retinal complications may develop. Patients should be carefully examined at initial symptoms in order to diagnose and treat possible retinal injuries as soon as possible. Here we report a retrospective analysis of three different retinal complications of posterior vitreous detachment.
