We report a case of giant macular hole progression after rupture of giant retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED). The patient was a 91-year-old man who had a giant PED in the left eye. He had bilateral hypermetropia (+2.00 dpt), and he had developed posterior vitreous detachment. The PED was 5,800 μm in diameter and 800 μm in height and ruptured during follow-up. A macular hole was formed, with a diameter of 400 μm, and the height of the PED had reduced to 360 μm. After 5 months, the macular hole expanded up to a diameter of 600 μm. Therefore, some cases of giant PED may lead to macular hole.

Vitreomacular interface disorders consist of a series of diseases including vitreomacular adhesion, vitreomacular traction, macular hole, and epiretinal membrane formation. They occur due to the failed progression of normal posterior vitreous detachment. Affected patients may present with metamorphopsia and varying degrees of visual loss depending on the severity of foveal disturbance and disease duration. The aim of this review is to define the epidemiological characteristics of these groups of disorders which show an increased incidence and prevalence with age in parallel with the occurrence of posterior vitreous detachment.

Background: Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is commonly used in vitreous surgery to visualize the posterior hyaloid and internal limiting membrane. Some TA can accumulate in the macular hole during surgery which can persist postoperatively. Case: A 17-year-old boy underwent successful macular hole surgery with TA-assisted induction of posterior vitreous detachment. Sub-foveal deposit of TA was observed postoperatively, which got absorbed at 7 weeks with complete closure of the macular hole, and best corrected visual acuity improved from 20/100 preoperatively to 20/60. Conclusion: Residual TA after macular hole surgery may not hamper the anatomical and functional outcome. Similar cases have been reported in the literature and most of them show no harmful effect of TA on macular hole closure and visual recovery.
