Full-thickness macular hole formation associated with pigment epithelial detachment: link or coincidence?

Sunildath Cazabon1.   

Abstract

To report two cases of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) formation associated with pigment epithelial detachment (PED). Two patients presenting with visual loss and metamorphopsia were evaluated with fundal fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Case 1: Fundus examination and FFA revealed a small subfoveal PED. Subsequent serial OCT elucidated the progressive formation of a FTMH. Case 2: Fundus examination and FFA revealed a small PED and changes suggestive of central serous retinopathy (CSR). Subsequent OCT illustrated a FTMH with an underlying small PED at the base of the hole. It is possible that, in at least some cases of macular hole formation, there may be a causative link with PED. To my knowledge, this is the first report of full-thickness macular hole formation associated with pigment epithelial detachment.
