“…Both studies support the theory of glial cell migration along the outer retinal surface after an overlying inner retinal degeneration with spontaneous dehiscence of the umbo. 10,11 Although all the holes in our study were located eccentrically, there may well be a shared mechanism. Although the ILM was not removed in every case (five of six 6 cases), ICG dye was used in all six.…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Several small case series have described MH formation after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). [8][9][10][11][12][13] As in most of these eyes, the vitreous was already detached before the vitrectomy and was removed in all of them at the vitrectomy; the mechanism actually responsible for the formation of MHs remains unclear.…”

“…MH formation without a vitreoretinal traction, even with a pre-existing complete posterior vitreous detachment or deep vitrectomy history, have been reported 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Trophic alteration in the retina and vascular alterations have been hypothesized in eyes with MH 3, 4, 7…”

PurposeTo measure the submacular choroidal thickness in eyes with idiopathic macular hole (IMH) compared with unaffected fellow eyes and normal control eyes.MethodsIn this single institutional retrospective comparative case-control study, 34 consecutive patients with IMH were included and compared with 30 normal age- and sex-matched eyes that were planned to have cataract surgery. The included eyes were divided into 4 groups: 41 eyes with IMH (A), 23 unaffected fellow eyes (B), 30 normal eyes (C), and 12 vitrectomized IMH eyes (D).ResultsThe choroidal thickness was significantly lower in all measured points in IMH eyes versus normal control eyes (subfoveal choroidal thickness [SFCT]: 215.76 ± 66.7 vs. 288.53 ± 72.0, P < 0.001) and at most locations in comparison between group B and C (SFCT: 231.79 ± 68.6 vs. 288.53 ± 72.0, P = 0.018). No significant difference was found in choroidal thickness between both eyes of patients with unilateral IMH (P = 0.81). The choroidal thickness was not altered after vitrectomy in the mean 6 months follow-up period. A negative correlation between the apical diameter and basal diameter of IMH and SFCT (P = 0.05) (P value of 0.034 and 0.05) and preoperative best-corrected visual acuity and apical and basal diameter of IMH (P = 0.006 and P = 0.029, respectively) was observed.ConclusionChoroidal thickness is reduced in both eyes of patients with IMH compared with normal age- and sex-matched control eyes.
