Spontaneous Closure of a Full°Thickness Macular Hole Associated with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Persistent Vitreomacular Traction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diabetic retinopathy worsens the prognosis of macular holes compared to those of idiopathic etiology. While spontaneous closure of idiopathic macular holes is a well-documented phenomenon, spontaneous closure of macular holes associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy is rare. We report a case of spontaneous closure of a macular hole associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and persistent vitreomacular traction. © 2016 The Author(s) Published by S.

Spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction associated with diabetic macular edema.
PURPOSE Little information is available about the natural history of vitreomacular traction (VMT) associated with diabetic macular edema. A few cases of spontaneous resolution of VMT associated with diabetic macular edema have been described, but have not been documented by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The authors report the spontaneous resolution of VMT associated with diabetic macular ...
متن کاملMacular hole formation and spontaneous closure after vitrectomy for vitreomacular traction documented in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography
BACKGROUND We present a case of a macular hole formation and its spontaneous closure after vitrectomy for vitreomacular traction. To our knowledge, it is the first description of spontaneous closure of the macular hole after vitrectomy for vitreomacular traction. CASE PRESENTATION A 78-year-old woman presented decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia in the right eye due to vitreomacular tr...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Efficacy of Vitrectomy for Persistent Diabetic Macular Edema and Associated Factors Predicting Outcome
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy for persistent diabetic macular edema after laser photocoagulation or intravitreal triamcinolone injections and to determine the demographic and ocular factors that influence functional and anatomical outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 55 eyes (51 patients) that had persistent diffuse macular edema after laser photocoagulation or intr...
متن کاملDissection of Human Vitreous Body Elements for Proteomic Analysis
The vitreous is an optically clear, collagenous extracellular matrix that fills the inside of the eye and overlies the retina. (1,2) Abnormal interactions between vitreous substructures and the retina underlie several vitreoretinal diseases, including retinal tear and detachment, macular pucker, macular hole, age-related macular degeneration, vitreomacular traction, proliferative vitreoretinopa...
متن کاملDevelopment of macular holes in diabetic retinopathy with fibrovascular proliferation: Report of four cases
There are yet no reports in the literature describing the mechanism of macular hole (MH) formation associated with fibrovascular proliferation in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. We report four cases of MHs in diabetic retinopathy with fibrovascular proliferation; formation of MHs were studied using sequential pre-MH optical coherence tomography (OCT). In Case 1, initial OCT revealed tractio...
