Abstract: Several spaces and structures are formed in vitreous interface with adjacent tissues, including Hannover's canal, Petit's canal, Cloquet's canal, Wieger's ligament, Berger's space, Erggelet's space, Martegiani's space and premacular bursa. It is of much importance to make clear these spaces for elucidating the pathogenesis and pathophysiological processes of some entities or lesions, such as lens dislocation following acute episode of glaucoma, maligment glaucoma, posterior vitreous detachment, formation of macular hole, etc. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2023, 32: 177-181)
