Background:The foveal contour is asymmetrical in the horizontal optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images in idiopathic macula holes (IMHs) successfully closed by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). The purpose of this study was to compare the parafoveal retinal contour after PPV followed by gas tamponade for IMHs to that after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Design:Retrospective study.
Participants:Eleven eyes of 11 IMH patients and 10 eyes of 10 RRD patients who underwent PPV.
Methods: The internal limiting membrane (ILM) was stained with indocyanine green and peeled in the IMH group but not in the RRD group. The postoperative retinal thickness was measured by spectral-domain OCT.
Main outcome measures:The parafoveal thicknesses of the operated eyes .. View More»
