Persistent outer retinal fluid following non-posturing surgery for idiopathic macular hole.

چکیده
AIM To present the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with hypo-reflective cystic defects in outer fovea (outer foveal defect; OFD) in macular holes repaired with non-posturing vitrectomy and short term gas tamponade. To identify the incidence and risk factors for developing OFD foveal defect. METHOD A prospective consecutive case series of 58 patients undergoing macular hole surgery was undertaken. OFD detected on 2-week postoperative Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was measured. In these patients OCT was performed monthly until resolution of OCT. RESULTS 27 eyes (46.6%) had an outer defect at 2 weeks, the presence of which was significantly associated with macular holes with larger base diameters preoperatively (p=0.006). All defects closed spontaneously without further intervention, and the final vision was not affected by the presence of an OFD. Visual recovery was only slightly (and not significantly) delayed by the presence of an outer defect. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study of outcomes of OFDs following macular hole surgery in patients who did not posture postoperatively. OFDs are common but do not adversely affect visual outcomes.

AIMS To assess the effect that the duration of face-down posturing has on the outcome of macular hole surgery. METHODS A literature search was conducted to identify studies related to posturing duration following macular hole surgery. Where appropriate, studies were compared in a meta-analysis. The Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effect method was used to calculate the summary statistics. The main outcom...

SEPTEMBER 2010 I RETINA TODAY I 75 W hen Kelly and Wendel described vitreous surgery for idiopathic macular holes in 1991, they advised face-down postoperative posturing for patients.1 Since that time, most retina specialists have adopted face-down positioning as a cardinal rule after macular hole surgery, although there is a lack of data showing its necessity. At the American Academy of Ophtha...

PURPOSE To investigate sequential post-operative thickness changes in inner and outer retinal layers in eyes with an idiopathic macular hole (MH). METHODS Retrospective case series. Twenty-four eyes of 23 patients who had received pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for the closure of MH were included in the study.
