9 Macular Hole

9.2.1.5 Optical Coherence Tomography

This methodology is useful for confirming the diagnosis and to help determine the risk to the other eye (Hee et al. 1995; Tanner et al. 2001). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images also aid the discrimination of partial thickness and pseudoholes (from epiretinal membrane) from full thickness macular holes.

In the grade 1 hole, the posterior hyaloid pulls on the fovea causing an intraretinal cyst.

In the grade 2 hole, the retina ruptures producing a small full thickness hole often with the vitreous still attached to one edge which causes an eccentric opening of the roof of the hole by traction from the posterior hyaloid (Chauhan et al. 2000).

In a grade 3 hole, the vitreous is often separated (but too close to the retina to see biomicroscopically) whilst the hole has enlarged.

The occult separation of the vitreous detectable on OCT is seen in 74 % of grade 2 and 3 holes and is attached to the disc margin in 33 % (Chauhan et al. 2000; Ito et al. 2003). The visible membrane on the posterior hyaloid probably consists of vitreous cortex with fragments of ILM (Smiddy et al. 1989). The fellow eye shows separation of the vitreous on OCT in 31 %.

Grade 0 macular holes have been described as a vitreous separation on OCT but with persistent attachment to the fovea. Grade 0 is present in 29 % of the contralateral eyes of patients with macular holes. 46 % of eyes with Grade 0

progress to macular hole at 2 years compared with 6 % in those with no vitreous attachments (Chan et al. 2004).

9.2.2Secondary Macular Holes

Contusion injury to the eye can result in secondary macular holes (Ismail et al. 2002) which have a high spontaneous closure rate (50 %) in the first few months; therefore, it is recommended to wait 4 months from the trauma before surgical intervention (Yamashita et al. 2002). Traumatic macular holes can be associated with the production of retinal detachment (Chen et al. 2005).

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment may produce a secondary macular hole, and Yag laser injury has been associated with hole formation (Sakaguchi et al. 2000). Holes may appear in other retinal pathologies such as sickle cell retinopathy and von Hippel–Lindau disease.

9.2.3Lamellar and Partial Thickness Holes

On some occasions, macular holes will not penetrate through the whole retina, producing a partial thickness hole with mild reduction of vision. Some are seen in the fellow eyes of macular hole patients. They are often associated with ERM

9.2 Idiopathic Macular Hole
Fig. 9.37 OCT is very useful for determining whether apparent macular holes are full thickness or partial thickness. In general, the Watzke– Allen test is negative for partial thickness holes, but it is reassuring to see outer layers of retina still present in the foveal pit on OCT. These patients should be left alone, and vision usually stabilises with a small amount of visual loss
Fig. 9.38 This early macular hole grade 2 had reduced vision to 20/80 and can be seen on the OCT with a flap towards the optic disc. Postoperatively, the vision improved to 20/20, and the normal architecture is restored on OCT (see Fig. 9.39)
