“…MH closure in eyes with high axial length is difficult to obtain by vitrectomy alone due to the disproportion between the retina and the pronounced staphyloma [42]. Alkabes et al [52] obtained excellent anatomic and visual outcomes in the treatment of MHRD with macular buckling. Though the results were positive in previously vitrectomized eyes as well as untreated eyes, the results were superior when macular buckling was the first-choice technique.…”

Myopic traction maculopathy is a high myopia-related complication caused by several mechanisms with traction as a common pathway. Macular hole-related retinal detachment is considered to be the final stage of progressive foveoschisis. In this setting, release of all vitreous and epiretinal tractions is essential in order to achieve surgical success. Pars plana vitrectomy has proven useful in the treatment of myopic foveoschisis, with both good visual and anatomical results. However, the surgical technique for the treatment of macular hole-related retinal detachment is still a controversial issue: reoperations are common and the final visual prognosis is limited, especially in those cases with a pronounced posterior staphyloma. We must also bear in mind that a highly myopic eye has some characteristic traits that may complicate vitreoretinal surgery. In these cases, microincision vitrectomy surgery may offer some advantages compared to conventional vitrectomy.

ObjectiveMany previous reports have demonstrated significant neural anatomy changes in the brain of high myopic (HM) patients, whereas the spontaneous brain activity changes in the HM patients at rest are not well studied. Our objective was to use amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method to investigate the changes in spontaneous brain activity in HM patients and their relationships with clinical features.MethodsA total of 38 patients with HM (17 males and 21 females) and 38 healthy controls (HCs) (17 males and 21 females) closely matched in age, sex, and education underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. The ALFF method was used to assess local features of spontaneous brain activity. The relationship between the mean ALFF signal values in many brain regions and the clinical features in HM patients was calculated by correlation analysis.ResultsCompared with HCs, the HM patients had significantly lower ALFF in the right inferior and middle temporal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus/putamen, right inferior frontal gyrus/putamen/insula, right middle frontal gyrus, and right inferior parietal lobule and higher ALFF values in the bilateral midcingulate cortex, left postcentral gyrus, and left precuneus/inferior parietal lobule. However, no relationship was found between the mean ALFF signal values of the different areas and the clinical manifestations in HM.ConclusionThe HM patients were affected with brain dysfunction in many regions, which may indicate the presence of neurobiological changes involving deficits in language understanding and attentional control in HM patients.

“…In the comparative study of Ripandelli et al ,14 four of 15 patients who underwent PPV for MHRD had a retinal re-detachment because of a persistent MH, and were successfully treated with additional MB. In another recent study, Alkabes and Burés-Jelstrup et al 43 demonstrated that MB combined with PPV should be considered a preferred surgical approach both in primary and recurrent RD secondary to MH in high myopic eyes.…”

Macular buckling for previously untreated and recurrent retinal detachment due to high myopic macular hole: a 12-month comparative study

Abstract: Macular buckling combined with PPV should be considered a preferred surgical approach both in primary and recurrent retinal detachment secondary to MH in high myopic eyes. Nevertheless, visual outcomes seem to be better when macular buckling is chosen as first-line treatment.
