Abstract:
Objective:To observe the morphological characteristics of dome-shaped macula (DSM) and macular hole (MH) in high myopia by optical coherence tomography (OCT), to further explore the correlation between DSM and MH.Methods:A retrospective case-control study. From April 2021 to December 2023, 963 eyes of 503 patients with high myopia (myopic diopter ≥6.00 D) in Department of Ophthalmology of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled in the study. The age of patients ranged from 5 to 89 years old, with the mean age of (48.91±16.69) years. Diopter was -6.00 to -26.00 (-10.49±3.15) D. All eyes were examined by OCT. The width and height of DSM, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), inner port diameter and base diameter of MH were measured by software on OCT. According to the OCT image features, DSM was divided into horizontal and vertical oval-shaped DSM, and symmetrical round DSM. According to the presence or absence of DSM, the eyes were divided into DSM group and non-DSM group. Then, the affected eyes with MH were divided into DSM with MH group and non-DSM with MH group. The incidence of DSM, the incidence of MH in the DSM group and the non-DSM group, the inner port diameter of MH, the base diameter of MH, SFCT, and the location of retinoschisis (RS) in the DSM with MH group and the non-DSM with MH group were observed. Independent sample t test or non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the related factors of MH inner port diameter, base diameter and DSM width, height, height/width ratio. Results:Among the 963 eyes, the DSM group and the non-DSM group were 266 (27.6%, 266/963) and 697 (72.4%, 697/963) eyes. Compared with the non-DSM group, patients in the DSM group were older ( Z=-11.302), had higher degree of myopia ( Z=-8.944), thinner SFCT ( Z=-16.244), and higher incidence of MH ( χ2=8.828), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with non-DSM with MH group, the patients in DSM with MH group were older ( t=2.610), higher myopia diopter ( t=3.593), and thinner SFCT ( t=3.505), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of eyes in the epiretinal membrane between the two groups ( χ2=0.119, P=0.730). In the DSM with MH group, RS mostly occurred in the outer retina with a large range, while in the non-DSM with MH group, RS mostly occurred in the outer and inner retina with a small range. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of eyes at different positions of RS between the two groups ( χ2=25.131, P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the inner port and base diameter of MH and the width, height, height/width ratio of DSM ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with high myopia patients without DSM, patients with DSM are older, have more severe myopia and thinner SFCT. In DSM patients with MH, RS often occurs in the outer retina and has a large range. There was no significant association between DSM morphology and MH size.
