Lamellar Macular Hole

The Clinical Classification of Maculo‐pathies in Adults a Survey

“…Histopathological studies of two idiopathic cases (Bellhorn et al 1975) have demonstrated, in agreement with other studies of premacular fibrosis (Roth K-Foos 1971;Gass 1976), that abnormal reflexes result from a cellular preretinal membrane. The cells are neuroglia with histochemical and ultrastructural features similar to fibrous astrocytes.…”

Case Series of Recurring Spontaneous Closure of Macular Hole

“…This may cause progressive retinal attenuation or render degenerated retina more vulnerable to incidental retinal surface or vitreous traction [3]. Gass proposed that rupture of the cystic spaces inner wall resulted in collapse of the cyst with subsequent retraction of the adjacent retinal tissue forming lamellar macular hole [9], so potentially a full thickness defect could similarly result. Uveitis has been reported to be associated with MH formation through either CME or chorioretinitis-induced structural weakening, vitreous liquefaction causing anomalous vitreomacular adhesions, or ERM formation [2].…”
