Macular-Hole Retinal Detachment

Macular-hole retinal detachment is rhegmatogenous retinal detachment caused by a macular hole, classically in high myopia, presenting with central visual curtain/drop. Treatment: pars-plana vitrectomy with internal limiting-membrane peel, endolaser around the hole, and long-acting gas/silicone-oil tamponade; face-down positioning; high myopic eyes have higher complication risk.

Common Symptoms

Central visual curtain/drop; macular hole on OCT; high myopia

Causes and Pathogenesis

Macular hole in a myopic eye allows fluid under the retina, causing detachment.

Treatment

Vitrectomy with ILM peel, endolaser, gas/oil tamponade; face-down positioning

Preventive Measures

Monitor high myopes; early surgery.
