Two Macular Holes due to Choroidal Neovascularization after Pars Plana Vitrectomy with Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling

Introduction: The aim of the study was to present a case of two macular holes (MHs) with myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesion. Case Presentation: A single case was evaluated. A 72-year-old woman presented with two small MHs in her left eye. One year ago, she had undergone vitrectomy for myopic foveal schisis, and a significant reduction of the schisis and a CNV lesion was observed after surgery. On examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed the atrophic CNV and two MHs were located upper and lower close to the edge of the CNV. A pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with two free ILM (internal limiting membrane) flaps implant was performed in her left eye. At 3 months after surgery, the two MHs were both closed and the best-corrected visual acuity was improved. Conclusions: Two MHs secondary to the regression of CNV after primary PPV combined with complete ILM peeling in eyes with macular schisis.

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the study was to present a case of two macular holes (MHs) with myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesion. Case Presentation: A single case was evaluated. A 72-year-old woman presented with two small MHs in her left eye. One year ago, she had undergone vitrectomy for myopic foveal schisis, and a significant reduction of the schisis and a CNV lesion was observed after surgery. On examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed the atrophic CNV and two MHs were located upper and lower close to the edge of the CNV. A pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with two free ILM (internal limiting membrane) flaps implant was performed in her left eye. At 3 months after surgery, the two MHs were both closed and the best-corrected visual acuity was improved. Conclusions: Two MHs secondary to the regression of CNV after primary PPV combined with complete ILM peeling in eyes with macular schisis.
