Abstract Summary: In this study, we reviewed 101 eyes with stage III or IV IMHs treated by PPV combined with ILM peeling and room air tamponade, took the ratio of minimum diameter to maximum diameter (hole diameter ratio, HDR) as the predictive factor and found HDR<0.6(“A” type IMH) can be a predictive factor for a good anatomical outcome.Purpose: To identify hole diameter ratio (HDR) as the predictive factor for unclosed stage III and IV idiopathic macular holes (IMHs) by the use of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods: 101 eyes with stage III or IV IMH were included in this retrospective case series study.
All cases were treated with vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling and room air tamponade. The MH minimum and maximum diameter, the ratio of the minimum to the maximum diameter (which defined as HDR) were performed. Results: 81 eyes (80.2%) got a Type I closure after surgery (group A). Postoperative unclosed MHs were found in 20 eyes (19.8%) (group B). The minimal diameter of IMHs (703.6±116.1um VS 597.6±120.1um, P<0.01) and HDR (0.6±0.1 VS 0.5±0.1, P=0.01) were both significantly different between two groups. The cutoff value of the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.6. The IMH with the HDR that less than 0.6 were defined as “A” type IMH and the others were defined as “H” type IMH. The closure rate of two type IMHs were 90.2% and 65.0% respectively. It had significant differences. (P=0.002) Conclusions: HDR<0.6(“A” type IMH) can be a predictive factor for a good anatomical outcome in stage III and IV IMHs after vitrectomy combined with LM peeling and room air tamponade.

Abstract Purpose: To determine whether preoperative hole diameter ratio (HDR) is a predictive factor for postoperative anatomical outome for stage III or IV idiopathic macular holes (IMHs).Methods: One-hundred and one eyes with stage III or IV IMH were included in this retrospective case series study.
All cases were treated with vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and room air tamponade. The macular hole (MH) minimum and maximum diameter was measured on preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The HDR was defined as the minimum to maximum diameter ratio. Results: Eighty-one eyes (80.2%) got a Type I closure after surgery (group A). Postoperative unclosed MHs were found in 20 eyes (19.8%) (group B). The preoperative minimal diameter (703.6±116.1mm vs. 597.6±120.1mm, P<0.01) and HDR (0.6±0.1 vs. 0.5±0.1, P=0.01) were both significantly smaller in postoperative closed eyes. The closure rate of IMHs with HDR<0.6 was significantly higher than those with HDR³0.6 (90.2% vs. 65.0%P=0.002) .Conclusions: Preoperative HDR<0.6 is predictive for a good postoperative anatomical outcome in stage III or IV IMHs.

Clinical Cases

Background. 25G or 27G three-port vitrectomy, followed by staining and removal of the internal limiting membrane with vitreous cavity air or gas tamponade, is one of the main modern vitreoretinal surgery principles for primary macular holes. However, not all patients manage to obtain a functional outcome when the anatomical outcome is achieved. Purpose. To  present clinical cases of surgical treatment of idiopathic macular holes (IMH) exhibiting a differentiated approach.Matherials and methods. This article analyzes clinical cases of four patients with primary idiopathic macular holes, differing in terms of development, hole diameter and the presence of comorbidities. Results. The results of surgical treatment were evaluated 14 days and 1 month after surgery. In all clinical cases, surgical treatment resulted in a positive anatomical outcome by blocking a retinal defect. Best corrected visual acuity increased, on average, from 0.08 ± 0.05 to 0.4 ± 0.05.Conclusion. The analysis of the presented clinical cases clearly demonstrates the need for a timely and differentiated approach to the treatment of patients with IMH, that considers etiology of the pathological process, period of its existence as well as concomitant and general somatic pathologies.

Introduction and purpose. Idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is an urgent medical and social problem of the population of developed countries. It is known that microinvasive 3-port vitrectomy with gas-air tamponade is a generally accepted method of surgical treatment of IMH. There is still no clear understanding of the reasons for incomplete functional success in this category of patients, despite the anatomical success.Thus, there is a need to develop and implement in clinical practice a modification of the ILM peeling technique for the treatment of small and medium-diameter of IMH, which would not be inferior in anatomical effectiveness to existing methods and would be accompanied by a less damaging effect on the structures of the retina. Material and methods. The study included 10 patients with a diagnosis of IMH, who underwent a 3-port microinvasive 25G vitrectomy with the preservation of foveal ILM. Results. The analysis of the clinical and functional results of surgical treatment of IMH with the foveal fragment left revealed the complete closure of the macular tear, the absence of gross defects of the ellipsoid zone, an increase in the values of the average visual acuity and microperimetry from the 1st month of dynamic observation. Conclusion. The proposed low-traumatic method of fovea - sparing ILM peeling provides stable anatomical and functional result, the restoration of both morphological and functional parameters, and minimizes the mechanical impact on the retina in the fovea. Key words: macular rupture, internal limiting membrane, fovea-sparing ILM peeling.

Morphofunctional Analysis

Purpose. To evaluate the role of microperimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the morphofunctional analysis of the retina after surgical treatment of idiopathic macular holes (IMH). Materials and methods. A retrospective study of 33 patient's treatment results (33 eyes) with IMH was carried out. All patients underwent minimally invasive with 25G or 27G vitrectomy. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular photosensitivity, fixation stability, macular neuroepithelial (NE) volume and minimal macular hole diameter were analyzed. Follow-up period: 6 months. Results. A complete closure of the macular hole was achieved in all cases post-op. The patients had reliable improvement of BCVA, retinal photosensitivity and decrease of macular NE volume. Based on a multifactor correlation analysis with the purpose to predict the results of surgical treatment, the dependence of post-op BCVA on the pre-op photosensitivity of the retina and the minimal diameter of the macular hole was revealed. Conclusions. Microperimetry and OCT are modern non-invasive research methods allowing to estimate anatomical and functional results of surgical IMH treatment. The study of retinal photosensitivity in the macula and minimal macular hole diameter pre-op allows to predict post-op BCVA, which has a practical importance.

Purpose. To compare the results of vitrectomy with those of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling or inverted ILM flap for treating myopic or idiopathic macular hole. Methods. Thirty-nine eyes of 39 patients undergoing vitrectomy with ILM peeling for macular hole (25 idiopathic and 14 myopic) and 27 eyes of 27 patients undergoing vitrectomy with inverted ILM flap (15 idiopathic and 12 myopic) were included. Outcome measures were macular hole closure by optical coherence tomography and visual acuity at 6 months. Results. Closure was achieved in 25 (100%) idiopathic and 12 (86%) myopic macular holes in the ILM peeling group and in 14 (93%) idiopathic and 11 (91.77%) macular holes in the inverted ILM flap group. There were no statistically significant differences in restoration of the external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone between the groups. Median best-corrected visual acuity (logarithm of minimal angle of resolution) at the end of follow-up was 0.22 (20/32 Snellen) in idiopathic and 0.4 (20/50) in myopic (P=0.042) patients in the ILM peeling group and 0.4 (20/50) in idiopathic and 0.4 (20/50) in myopic (P=0.652) patients in the inverted ILM flap group. Conclusion. Both techniques were associated with high closure rates in myopic and idiopathic macular holes, with somewhat better visual outcomes in idiopathic cases. The small sample size may have provided insufficient power to support the superiority of one technique over the other in the two groups.

Abstract Background To evaluate the effect of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling surrounding macular holes (MH) for the function of retina by microperimetry-3(MP-3). Methods This is a prospective, cohort study which included patients with MHs who were treated by 23-gauge 3-port pars plana vitrectomy and ILM peeling with air tamponade. Color fundus photography, retinal optical coherence tomography and MP-3 were performed 1 week before, 1 and 4 months after the operation. In MP-3 examination, a customized follow-up pattern with 45 spots in the central 8° visual field was used. The spots corresponding to the retina surrounding macular holes were selected for comparison of pre- and post-operative function. Results We incuded 44 eyes of 44 patients with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 1.06±0.40 (logMAR). All eyes achieved an anatomical success at 4 months. BCVA significantly improved at 1 month (0.53±0.30, P<0.01) and 4 months (0.31±0.24, P<0.01), respectively. Mean retinal sensitivity (MRS, dB) of the retina surrounding macular hole was 23.46±3.01 dB at baseline, and significantly increased at 1 month (26.25±2.31 dB, u=-4.88, P<0.01) and 4 months(27.14±2.45 dB, t=-6.29, P<0.01). Patients with increased MRS are significantly younger than those with deceased MRS (59.72±3.22 years vs. 65.60±8.19 years, P<0.01). After ILM peeling, the increasing extent of MRS was significantly higher in inferior and nasal retina than in superior and temporal retina at 1 and 4 months (P<0.05). Conclusion ILM peeling in normal retina will not decrease the retinal function in a short-term after surgery.
