Myopic maculopathy is characterized by the presence of degenerative abnormalities of the central retina. We report the co-existence of a macular hole and atrophic choroidal neovascularization in a highly myopic patient. The occurrence of this association in the same eye without a history of intraocular surgery has been reported very rarely in the literature.OCT is a reliable diagnostic tool for a full thickness macular hole. When an atypical-appearing macular hole is detected, fluorescein angiography and OCT-A should be performed to detect associated choroidalneovascularization.The association described is of exceptional occurrence but with a serious prognosis and very limited chances of visual recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
