  • Title: Confirmation of persistent closure of surgically repaired macular hole in subsequent retinal detachment by optical coherence tomography.
    Author: Herring JH, Chen CJ, Chen LL.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 2000; 31(3):243-4. PubMed ID: 10847505.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic macular holes have shown response to surgical intervention with vitrectomy, presumably because of glial cell proliferation in the reapproximated tissue. We describe a patient with postoperative closure of a macular hole who subsequently developed a retinal detachment involving the macular area. Despite the detachment, the macular hole remained closed as evidenced by biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT provides accurate documentation and assessment of pre- and postoperative conditions in macular hole surgery.
