Macular Holes in Tractional Retinal Detachments Secondary to Diabetic Retinopathy

Résumé fourni par la source

Purpose: To characterize the visual outcomes and rate of macular hole (MH) closure with tractional retinal detachment (TRD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods: Visit data of patients who had pars plana vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed; patient demographics, other procedure(s), the MH closure rate, and visual outcomes were also collected. Paired t, Fisher exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed. Results: Ten patients (10 eyes) developed a TRD MH; 3 distinct MH presentations were identified. At the 3-month follow-up, 90% of MHs remained closed without the need for further reoperation (n = 6, type 1 closure; n = 3, type 2 closure). All MHs were closed 12 months after the initial surgery, with 1 eye requiring a single reoperation. The mean visual acuity (VA) at baseline and at 12 months was 20/235 and 20/138, respectively. Conclusions: MHs in the setting of fibrovascular proliferation resulting from PDR present with varied morphology. There is a high rate of MH closure and a trend toward improved VA.
