Purpose: Inflammation due to retinal neuroepithelial necrotic granulomas of toxoplasmosis can extend to neighbor areas and may develop focal adhesions of the posterior hyaloid, to the surface vessels, and the margins or adjoining areas of retinochoroiditis plaques. These adhesions may develop vitreoretinal traction and retinal tears. Vitreoretinal traction may be macular (VMT) or extramacular depending on the location of the toxoplasmic plaques.

Purpose: To evaluate visual outcome of eyes with combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
Design: Noncomparative case series.
Participants: Seventy-nine eyes of 77 patients.
In this paper complicated traction retinal detachments are discussed in relation to aetiology, techniques of treatment and results of treatment. Complicated traction detachments are caused by pathological vitreous membranes or bands and epiretinal membranes. These membranes are found in the following groups of eyes: aphakia were vitreous loss, penetrating trauma, chronic vitreous inflammation and failed retinal detachments.
