Functional and morphological evaluation of autologous retinal graft in large traumatic macular hole.

ABSTRACT: A 7-year-old boy presented with history of blunt trauma 1 month back. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200 with optical coherence tomography (OCT) showing a large macular hole. Spontaneous closure of the macular hole seemed unlikely following a month of observation. Pars plana vitrectomy along with autologous retinal graft was performed. At subsequent follow up, hole appeared closed with nasal shrinkage of graft and BCVA improved to 20/100. OCT showed mechanical integration of the graft with adjoining retina. Autologous retinal graft is a feasible option in cases where conventional internal limiting membrane peeling shows lower anatomical success.

Refractory Myopic Retinal Detachment and Macular Hole Closure with Autologous Neurosensory Retinal Free Flap.

Project description:The purpose of this case report is to describe a modified technique involving the use of an autologous neurosensory retinal free flap for closure of a macular hole (MH) during retinal detachment (RD) surgery. A 50-year-old female presented with sudden vision loss (light perception only) and a recurrent myopic RD associated with an MH. An autologous neurosensory retinal free flap was obtained and moved toward the MH. Silicone oil was used as an endotamponade and removed after 6 months. Two months after oil removal visual acuity improved to 20/400 and remained stable thereafter; however, the patient developed central retinal atrophy. One year after surgery the MH was closed and the retina attached. This modified technique with the use of an autologous neurosensory retinal flap provides an alternative approach for recurrent MH in RD procedures.

Autologous neurosensory retinal flap for closure of refractory macular hole in a patient with macular telangiectasia.

Project description:PurposeThis study explores autologous neurosensory autograph for a patient with a chronic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and idiopathic macular telangiectasia type 2 (IMT2).ObservationsThe patient had a chronic 1355 ?m FTMH and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 2 logMAR units after two unsuccessful attempts to close the macular hole. Following a 25-gauge vitrectomy, a 2-disc diameter neurosensory autograft from the supertemporal retina was mobilized and secured with perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) tamponade. After being postured supine for one week, the PFO was exchanged for silicone oil. Two months later, silicone oil was exchanged for 20% sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).Conclusions and importanceThe graft achieved anatomical and functional success with BCVA of 0.6 logMAR units. This case supports autologous neurosensory autograph as a technique for achieving closure of chronic macular holes refractory to conventional treatment.

Autologous Retinal Transplantation with the Use of Air Tamponade for the Treatment of a Primary Large Chronic Macular Hole.

Project description:The purpose of this case report is to describe a chandelier-assisted bimanual autologous retinal transplantation (ART) with air tamponade technique for the treatment of a large macular hole (MH). A patient with a primary chronic large MH, who underwent chandelier-assisted bimanual ART with the use of air tamponade is described. The MH diameter was 888 μm. Changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured postoperatively; clinical pictures and optical coherence tomography were analyzed. Baseline preoperative BCVA was 20/400. Closure of the MH was achieved. At 7 months, post-surgery BCVA improved to 20/50. Optical coherence tomography examinations showed the integration of the autologous transplant with the adjacent macular tissue and continuity preservation of the ellipsoid layer. In conclusion, chandelier-assisted bimanual ART with air tamponade technique was effective in achieving complete MH closure and long-term visual improvement.

COMBINED INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE FLAP AND AUTOLOGOUS PLASMA CONCENTRATE TO CLOSE A LARGE TRAUMATIC MACULAR HOLE IN A PEDIATRIC PATIENT.

Project description:PurposeTo describe a case of a large, traumatic macular hole in a pediatric patient closed using an internal limiting membrane flap in combination with autologous plasma concentrate (APC).MethodsDescription of a surgical technique as performed in one patient.ResultsSuccessful macular hole closure and improvement in postoperative visual acuity were achieved in the patient in whom the technique was performed.ConclusionThe combined use of APC with the internal limiting membrane flap is advantageous because the APC acts to hold the internal limiting membrane in proper position and promotes the proliferation of glial cells through the presence of growth factors. This technique may be particularly advantageous in chronic or recalcitrant holes particularly in the setting of trauma.

Management of refractory macular hole with blood and gas-assisted autologous neurosensory retinal free flap transplantation: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMacular hole (MH) may become refractory if the hole does not close after multiple surgeries. We provide a modified surgical technique for refractory MH repair with neurosensory retinal free flap transplantation.Case presentationTo treat a 68-year-old female patient with refractory MH after multiple surgeries, we harvested a neurosensory retinal free flap with a 2-MH diameter area. A drop of whole blood was placed within the MH as an adhesive to fix the neurosensory retinal free flap at the MH under gas tamponade. Two months after surgery, optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed closure of the MH. The flap was visible on OCT and had filled the MH without overlapping the neurosensory retina. The patient's best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 20/500 preoperatively to 20/50 at 2 months postoperatively.ConclusionsUsing whole blood as an adhesive to aid in the fixation of an autologous neurosensory retinal free flap under gas tamponade provides another option for patients with refractory MH due to multiple prior surgeries.

A New Sutureless Illuminated Macular Buckle Designed for Myopic Macular Hole Retinal Detachment.

Project description:Purpose. To report the anatomic and visual results of a new sutureless illuminated macular buckle designed for patients with macular hole retinal detachment related to high myopia (MMHRD). Design. Prospective nonrandomized comparative interventional trial. Methods. Twenty myopic eyes of 20 patients (mean age, 51.4 years; range, 35-65 years) presenting with MMHRD with a posterior staphyloma, in whom the new buckle was used, were evaluated. The buckle used was assembled from a 5 mm wide sponge and a 7 mm wide silicone tire; it was fixed utilizing the sterile topical adhesive Histoacryl Blue (B Braun, TS1050044FP) which polymerizes in seconds upon being exposed to water-containing substances. The primary outcomes measured included aided visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. The mean follow-up period was 6 months. Results. Postoperatively, the MH closure was identified by OCT in 8 (40%) eyes. The mean BCVA increased from 0.11 to 0.21 (p < 0.005). The axial length of the eyes included decreased from 30.5 mm preoperatively to 29.8 mm (p = 0.002) postoperatively. Conclusion. Preparation of the new sutureless macular buckle is simple and easy. Illumination of the terminal part of the buckle ensures proper placement. Histoacryl Blue is effective in fixing the buckle in its place for at least 6 months with no reported intra- or postoperative complications.

Perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted inverted inner limiting membrane-flap for large macular hole after recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Project description:A 45-year-old Caucasian myopic woman with a severe vision impairment (20/320) in the left eye due to a macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) underwent vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade followed by an inferior relaxing retinectomy with heavy silicone oil tamponade during the second procedure for recurrence of RRD due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Four weeks after the second surgery, visual acuity was 20/200 and the patient complained metamorphopsia in the same eye due to a large full-thickness macular hole. A perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted inverted inner limiting membrane-flap technique was performed. Visual acuity improved to 20/80 after closing of macular hole and partial recovery of outer retinal layers at 3 months from the last surgery.

Autosomal Recessive Bestrophinopathy Presenting With a Macular Hole Retinal Detachment.

Project description:Purpose: To report a case of autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB) that presented with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD). Methods: A case report. Results: A 31-year-old male patient presented with rapid deterioration of vision in the left eye. On fundus examination, bilateral retinal deposits in both eyes, which were brightly hyperautofluorescent, and an MHRD in the left eye could be detected. An electrooculogram demonstrated absent light rise with abnormal Arden's ratio in both eyes. The patient was offered surgery for the MHRD but refused due to the guarded visual prognosis. Follow up of the patient after one year revealed progression of the retinal detachment. Genetic testing revealed a novel, homozygous missense mutation in the BEST1 gene, confirming the diagnosis of ARB. Conclusion: ARB can present with an MHRD. Counseling patients with inherited retinal dystrophies about the visual prognosis following surgical intervention is important.

Wider retinal artery trajectories in eyes with macular hole than in fellow eyes of patients with unilateral idiopathic macular hole.

Project description:PURPOSE:To determine whether the width of the retinal artery (RA) trajectory was associated with the presence of a macular hole (MH). METHODS:A retrospective cross sectional case-control study was performed. The fundus photographs were rotated 90 degrees, and the coordinates of the best fit curve of the RA trajectory were determined automatically based on these plots using the ImageJ program. The converted coordinates were fit to a second degree polynomial (ax2/100 + bx + c) equation. The width and steepness of the RA trajectory, "a", of the eyes with a MH eye were compared to that of the fellow eyes. RESULTS:One hundred and ten eyes of 55 consecutive patients (30 women) with a unilateral MH and healthy fellow eyes were analyzed. The mean age was 64.9 years (range 47-81 years). The constant 'a' was significantly smaller in eyes with a MH than that of the fellow eyes (0.379 ± 0.094 vs 0.416 ± 0.121, P = 0.001, paired t test), indicating that the RA trajectory was wider in the MH eyes than in the fellow eyes. There was a significant correlation between the axial length and 'a' of the RA trajectory in the MH eyes (R = 0.273, P = 0.044) and in the fellow eyes (R = 0.356, P = 0.008; Spearman's rank correlation coefficient). CONCLUSIONS:Because eyes with a MH have a significantly wider and flatter RA trajectory, there may be greater traction on the fovea which is located between the RA arches. The causative role of this finding is still unclear.

Double Internal Limiting Membrane Insertion for Macular Hole-Associated Retinal Detachment.

Project description:PURPOSE:To describe a modified technique of internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion for macular hole- (MH-) associated retinal detachment (RD) in highly myopic eyes. METHODS:Nine eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy, cortical vitreous removal, and fovea-sparing ILM peeling. Double ILM insertion into the hole was performed with inverted perifoveal ILM and a free ILM flap followed by air-fluid exchange. RESULTS:Two of the 9 eyes had perifoveal ILM partially torn after cortical vitreous or epiretinal removal. All eyes had the ILM plug stabilized within the MH after double ILM insertion. Postoperatively, MH was sealed with the retina reattached in all the eyes. CONCLUSION:Double ILM insertion may further secure the ILM flap in place in the eyes with MH-associated RD, especially in cases in which insufficient perifoveal ILM was left. This trial is registered with the clinical registration number Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03174639.
