Sub-hyaloid and sub-internal limiting membrane macular hemorrhage after laser exposure at music festival: a case report

Abstract Spontaneous reattachment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (SRRRD) is a rare presentation. A macular hole coexisting in a patient with a SRRRD is rarer still. The authors describe a case of SRRRD with a macular hole presenting with decreased vision which has never been described before in scientific literature. The patient underwent vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade, leading to type I closure of the macular hole and subsequent visual improvement.

Histopathological Evaluation

A 62-year-old female developed pseudophakic bullous keratopathy after cataract surgery and underwent Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). Intraoperatively, a white opacified pre-Descemet’s layer was noticed after scoring and removal of trypan blue stained Descemet’s membrane (DM), and endothelium complex. It was removed using internal limiting membrane peeling forceps and sent for histopathological evaluation along with DM-endothelium complex and epithelium. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative clinical, tomographical, and histopathological data confirmed thickened PDL or Dua’s layer. This is a rare encounter with scarred PDL or Dua’s layer during DSAEK surgery.

Autologous Platelet

The consensus of lamellar macular hole repair generally entails vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane with/without epiretinal membrane peeling with gas tamponade, although the risk of a full thickness macular hole remains. In this case report, we investigate the role of the regenerative properties of autologous platelets in the repair of a lamellar macular hole with pars plana vitrectomy, an autologous platelet plug, and 12% C3F8 without prone posturing. All three patients in this case report experienced visual improvement along with anatomic closure of the lamellar macular hole. Further randomized studies with larger sample sizes will contribute to the existing data regarding this procedure and its outcomes.
