Lamellar Macular Hole three different pathogeneses: antero-posterior traction tangential traction de-roofing of cystoid macular oedema. OCT Criteria presence of an irregular foveal contour break in inner fovea dehiscence of the inner foveal retina from the outer retina (intraretinal dissociation) absence of a full foveal defect (intact foveal photoreceptors) Witkin AJ, Ko TH, Fujimoto JG, et al.

Criteria for OCT diagnosis LMHs 1 Irregular foveal contour (1) Break in the inner fovea (2) Intraretinal split (3) Normal perifoveal retinal thickness (4) Absence of a full thickness foveal defect (4) Intact foveal photoreceptors (4) MPHs (Macular Pseudoholes) 2 Normal central retinal thickness (1) Partial thickness macular defect Steepened defect with typically verticalized foveal slopes (2) Increase in perifoveal thickness (3)

Pathogenesis Pre-foveolar vitreous tangential traction Anteroposterior orientation over fovea
SD OCT supports the a/p traction hypothesis
Macular Hole Surgery Pars plana vitrectomy Posterior hyaloid removal PVD Post-op tamponade and head positioning ILM removal increases closure rate Vision varies; OCT closed hole
Tornambe Hydration Theory Fluid hydrates the fovea and retinal edge creating drawbridge effect Tamponade, gas or oil, "dehydrates" edge closing the drawbridge Mechanism is retinal dehydration
Schubert Glial Cell Migration Theory Macular holes: migratory gaps and vitreous as obstacles to glial closure. Schubert HD, et al Mechanism is glial cell migration, arising from the inner retina, along the edge and floor of hole Our results indicate that gaps in the migratory surface, caused and ggravated by eversion and the presence of vitreous, present obstacles to glial migration and closure of macular holes
Observations on Surgical Macular Hole Closure PVD and Posterior Hyaloid Removal Required for hole closure Lack of PVD and hyaloid removal common cause of failure Tamponade Gas is requirement not silicone oil! ILM Peeling Increases closure rate Shorter tamponade duration Hole closure without strict head positioning Mac Hole Size Lower success rate holes > 400 microns
Mechanism of Closure These observations suggest a mechanism which involves a bridging of the hole to occur along the inner retinal surface; not along the outer RPE bed The persistence of subretinal fluid questions validity of dehydration and RPE fluid pumping mechanisms
Lateral Capillary Forces Theory
What if Posterior Hyaloid Remains?

Peeling Harms Tadayoni, BJO, 2012 Decreased retinal sensitivity after ILM peeling for MH surgery And more microscotomas Sugestions: -DONFL appearance may not correlate to worse functional outcome - Peeling when necessary

Trend When you can visualize clearly the ILM When you are not confident to perform combined cataract Young patient (needs accommodation)
Combined Simcock P, Pappas G et al, Retina, Mar 2003 Combined Surgery in presbyopic patients is the best option due to higher volume tamponade and due to best aproach to the patient s pathology
Δρ 4. Face down or Not?

Posturing Vx Closure Note the residual subfoveal fluid 14 days post surgery Reported cases of delayed visual recovery correlate with persistent subfoveal fluid
Posturing Vx Closure Claus Eckardt Retina September 2008. Closed by 48 hrs
Is Prone Positioning Necessary?
Is Prone Positioning Necessary Depends on Bubble Size 80% 50%
Conclusion Lateral Capillary Forces created by interface disturbance at the macular hole are attractive apposes the edges Function of distance between edges larger holes generate less force Higher Surface Tension creates more force Oil lower surface tension than gas ILM peeling increases retinal compliance requires less force to mobilize and appose edges Hole closes within 24-72 hours
Conclusion Interface contact with the hole is critical. Maximize bubble size Larger gas bubble allows for greater contact area and more liberal head positioning Remove ALL vitreous and repeat fluid-air exchange after a 5 minute wait Strict long term head positioning not required Failure can be identified early

Stable condition According to the findings of a non comparative observational case series that studied the natural course of LMH as examined by OCT: The VA was found stable in 80% of patients over a follow up period of 37,1 months. 1 A decrease of 10% of macular thickness was observed during that time. In another recent prospective study of the evolution of LMHs using SD- OCT in a mean follow-up period of 18 months, it was found: No significant change in BCVA 2 Only a 3% decrease of foveal thickness 2 No change in the size of LMH in 80% of the patients 2 N 1.
