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.

Epidemiological Characteristics

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.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of one intravitreal injection of expansile gas in the treatment of vitreomacular traction (VMT). Methods: A retrospective review of eyes with VMT treated with singl injection of 0,3 ml of 100% C3F8 gas was performed. The procedure was performed on an outpatient basis under topical anesthesia. Results: Twelve consecutive patient (14 eyes) with symptomatic VMT underwent pneumatic vitreolysis. Mean extend of vitreomacular adhesion was 490,5 µm (408-751). A posterior vitreous detachment developed in 13 eyes (92,9 %) after a single gas injection, in 11 eyes (84,6 %) during the first month of follow-up, in 2 eyes within two month of injection. Mean baseline and last BCVA were 0,5 (0,16-0,18) and 0,67 (0,2-1,0) respectively (p < 0,001). Mean folow-up time was 5,8 (1-16) months. The procedure was also successful in two eyes, which where previously unsuccessfuly treated with ocriplasmin. One eye formed a macular hole. There were no other complication. Conclucion: Intravitreal injection of C3F8 is an effective, safe and inexpensive therapy of vitreomacular traction.
