Abstract

Herein are reported four eyes among three patients with favorable anti-vascular endothelial growth factor crunch syndrome by which contraction of fibrovascular tissue led to relief of vitreoretinal traction without surgical intervention. This phenomenon led to complete or partial retinal reattachment in two patients with diabetic tractional retinal detachments. These cases represent favorable anatomic outcomes of crunch syndrome secondary to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor pharmacotherapy and are unique compared with most cases, which have been associated with negative outcomes.
