Application of OCT in traumatic macular hole / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

·AIM: To observe the application of optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) in the diseases of traumatic macular hole.·METHODS: Twenty - five eyes of 23 patients with traumatic macular hole from January 2015 to January 2017 were enrolled in this study, including 9 eyes treated without surgeries, 16 eyes with surgeries. The image features were analyzed using OCT from ZEISS.·RESULTS: The OCT characteristics in patients with traumatic macular hole were partial or full - thickness disappearance of the neuro-epithelium. Posterior vitreous detachment was not seen in the traumatic macular hole. OCT examination revealed that 4 eyes had partial detachment of macular hole and 21 eyes had full thickness detachment. Of the twenty-one eyes, 4 eyes had simple macular hole, 10 eyes had macular full-layer division with peripheral nerve epithelium edema, 7 eyes had the macular full - layer hole with the neuro - epithelium localized detachment. In the 25 eyes, 9 eyes did not undergo the surgery, of which 7 eyes were self-healing;16 eyes were surgically treated. Postoperative OCT showed the macular structure were normal in 12 eyes with the visual acuity improved 3 lines; retinal nerve epithelium were thinning in 4 eyes, visual acuities were not significant improved after surgery.·CONCLUSION: OCT examination is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic macular hole.
