Abstract:
Total vitrectomy and removal of the posterior hyaloid membrane were done in 7 patients who were diagnosed as macular hole with specific causative factors. The causative factor of 2 patients is high myopia and of remainers is trauma. Of the 7 patients treated by removal of the posterior hyaloid membrane during total vitrectomy, 3 patients showed anatomical and functional success, 2 patients only the anatomical success, and 2 patients failure. The postoperative complications included phthisis bulbi, proliferative vitreoreinopathy, optic atrophy, and macular degeneration, and iatrogenic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Two patients of the 3 success cases complained of mild diplopia after operation.
