Optical coherence tomography of the vitreoretinal interface in macular hole formation

Abstract: Conclusions-The wide range in OCT appearance of macular holes and associated prefoveal opacities suggests that, in at least some cases, a significant amount of retinal tissue is torn from the foveal area during macular hole formation. OCT imaging provides additional information on macular hole pathogenesis and is valuable in the planning of surgical intervention.

“…Recent evidence from OCT studies has shed light on the pathogenesis and natural history of macular holes. [21][22][23] Stage 1 or impending holes appear as varying degrees of hyporeflective, intrafoveal split with the posterior hyaloid visibly attached to the foveal centre (Figure 2c). The posterior hyaloid may then either separate with spontaneous regression of the foveal cyst [24][25][26] (Figure 2d).…”

“…1 The role of surgery in macular hole repair has traditionally been considered to eliminate tangential surface traction at the vireoretinal interface and there is clinical, OCT, and surgical evidence to support this hypothesis. [1][2][3][4][5][6] In stage 4 holes, however, the rationale for vitrectomy surgery becomes less easy to extrapolate since the vitreous has (by definition) already separated from the retina. It also calls into question why such holes do not more commonly undergo spontaneous closure.…”

“…Estudos com a utilização da tomografia de coerência óptica têm demonstrado a importância da tração ânte-ro-posterior do vítreo sobre a retina na gênese do buraco macular (6) . Em recente relato (7) , uma injeção de perfluoropropano foi capaz de induzir o DVP, removendo a tração ântero-posterior e levando à regressão um caso de buraco macular grau II.…”
