Long-term sequelae of stage 4A ROP after successful management with lens-sparing vitrectomy.

We present an unusual case of a macular lesion, possibly a spontaneously closed macular hole, at a 4-year follow-up visit, after lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) in stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Optical coherence tomography scans of the macula were suggestive of a spontaneously closed macular hole and fibrovascular proliferation at the equator. We hypothesise that tangential traction by residual posterior hyaloid could lead to late macular hole formation after LSV in ROP.

Concomitant Traumatic Macular Hole and Orbital Fracture.

Introduction: To report 5 cases of concomitant traumatic macular hole (TMH) and orbital fracture, and discuss its incidence.

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study including all patients with orbital fracture who were referred to us from May 2013 to December 2023. Axial and coronal orbital computed tomographic images with bone and soft tissue window algorithms and optical coherence tomographic images were obtained from all patients.

Partial Detachment of an ILM Inverted Flap After a Successful Closure of a Full-Thickness Traumatic Macular Hole.

Purpose: To report a case of partial detachment of an inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap following a successful closure of a full-thickness traumatic macular hole.

Observations: A 24-year-old male patient presented with a history of a blunt trauma and a full-thickness macular hole. Visual acuity was (20/50) then deteriorated to (20/100) prior to surgery.

Use of Cabbage Leaf Inverted Flap Technique in the Management of a Stage IV Full-Thickness Macular Hole.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of patients with stage IV full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) treated by the cabbage leaf inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique. We conducted a retrospective study, enrolling patients with stage IV FTMH operated by a single surgeon. Six patients with FTMH and no other known ocular comorbidities were included in the study.

Evaluating ChatGPT's Diagnostic Accuracy in Detecting Fundus Images.

Introduction Artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing in healthcare. Ophthalmology, with its reliance on imaging for diagnosis and management, has the potential to benefit from this technology. Deep learning models are currently used in image analysis in ophthalmology.

Macular hole closure with a vertical joint of the inner limiting membrane (ILM).

This case report describes an unexpected surgical outcome with the presence of a vertical joint of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) after a vitrectomy using the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique. A woman presented with 5 months of vision loss in the left eye. The visual acuities were 6/9 in the right eye and 6/75 in the left eye.

The Effect of Retinal Tear Location and Internal Tamponade on The Success of Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Patients with Uncomplicated Retinal Detachment.

Aim:  Retinal detachment is an acute sight-threatening condition that requires immediate surgical intervention. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) between the different types of gases used, the position, and the number of tears.

Material And Methods:  This is a retrospective non-randomized comparative study of patients with uncomplicated RRD treated at the Department of Ophthalmology from March 2018 to April 2021 using PPV.

Functional and anatomic outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy for macular holes in ocular Behçet's disease.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for full thickness macular holes (FTMH) in ocular Behçet's disease.

Methods: Eyes with FTMH as confirmed on optical coherence tomography in patients with active ocular Behçet's disease (AOBD) were included in this study. These eyes underwent PPV, epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peel, and a tamponade injection.

Phacovitrectomy vs. consecutive vitrectomy for idiopathic macular holes: short and long-term outcomes and OCT image quality assessment.

Purpose: To compare short- and long-term anatomical, functional, and refractive outcomes between combined phacovitrectomy (PVS) and consecutive vitrectomy (CVS) for idiopathic macular holes (MHs). Also, to evaluate the role of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) image quality in guiding surgical selection.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 183 phakic MH eyes operated between 2012 and 23, with patients divided into PVS and CVS groups.

Clinical Characteristics and Surgical Outcomes of the Full-thickness Macular Hole Without Focal Vitreomacular Traction: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Purpose: This study investigated the clinical features and surgical outcomes of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) without focal vitreomacular traction (VMT) and discusses possible underlying mechanisms.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study included patients aged 18 years or older with stage 2 FTMHs who underwent pars plana vitrectomy at three hospitals between December 2016 and March 2024. Patients diagnosed without focal VMT in the macula were classified as VMT- and those with focal VMT were classified as VMT+.

Predictive relevance of optical coherence tomography indices in conjunction with visual acuity and surgical outcomes of idiopathic macular hole.

Idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is a condition that arises from a combination of interactions among several forces on the fovea, remarkably from vitreous traction in the anteroposterior and tangential directions. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of microincision vitrectomy surgery, and IMH surgery was performed with minimal invasiveness, and visual improvement was an expected outcome. This study aimed to observe the pre-operative optical coherence tomography (OCT) indices correlated with visual acuity in the closure of IMH after surgery.

Retinal Displacement after Idiopathic Macular Hole Surgery: Layer by Layer Analysis.

Purpose: To measure the displacement of retinal vascular plexi and choriocapillaris after Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) for idiopathic Macular Hole (MH), using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and correlate it with clinical data.

Methods: Retrospective series with 6-month follow-up. Records included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), M-charts, structural OCT and OCTA.
