  • Title: Outer Retinal Changes Preceding Secondary Macular Hole Formation Years After Vitreomacular Traction Release Demonstrated on Spectral-Domain OCT.
    Author: Chin AT, Bonini Filho MA, de Carlo TE, Adhi M, Duker JS.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina; 2015 Sep; 46(8):880-2. PubMed ID: 26431305.
    Abstract:
    This report describes changes documented on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the right eye of a 58-year-old woman who eventually developed a secondary full-thickness macular hole (FTMH). She had a history of vitreomacular traction (VMT) that had resolved spontaneously with a complete posterior vitreous detachment. Despite VMT resolution, a hyperreflective band from the internal to the external limiting membrane and evidence of photoreceptor disruption persisted on SD-OCT for 2 years, at which point an FTMH developed. Despite VMT release, the unexpected FTMH coupled with the preceding outer retinal changes suggest persistent secondary damage to Müller cells as a potential factor.
