Abstract

Christos Haritoglou,1 Ramin Tadayoni,2 Jean-Pierre Hubschman3 1Herzog Carl Theodor Eye Clinic, Department of Ophthalmology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany; 2Department of Ophthalmology, Lariboisière Hospital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, University Sorbonne Paris Cité, Paris, France; 3Retina Division, Stein Eye Institute, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA Abstract: Lamellar macular holes present distinct morphological features including tractional or non-tractional epimacular membranes, foveal tissue alterations, defects of the outer retinal layers, or a separation of the retinal layers. At present, degenerative lamellar holes are differentiated from tractional holes based on the morphological characteristics seen in OCT. The current treatment approach is based on this gross differentiation. Considering the recent developments in high-resolution imaging, this classification needs to be revisited since morphological features may present simultaneously, making it difficult to separate these entities. In addition, a revisited classification may be of value to better standardize the indication for surgical treatment.

2. Movement of intraretinal fluid from distant branch retinal vein occlusion to the submacular space.

Abstract

Background: Extramacular branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) occasionally causes serous macular detachment. We studied the movement of extravasated fluid from BRVO lesions to the submacular space., Methods: We examined nine eyes from nine patients with serous retinal detachment caused by extramacular BRVO. In addition to a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, optical coherence tomography was performed in all nine eyes. Six of the patients also underwent fluorescein angiography., Results: Visual acuity ranged from 0.03 to 0.9 (median 0.5). All nine eyes showed localized macular detachment and retinal edema which extended from the extramacular BRVO to the macula. Fluorescein angiography revealed dye leakage in the extramacular area but no macular leakage in the six eyes examined. Optical coherence tomography revealed serous retinal detachment in the macula and intraretinal swelling, with low reflectivity in the outer retina extending from the distant BRVO toward the detached macula in all nine eyes. Six eyes were treated with laser photocoagulation, covering the entire area of BRVO, and the other three eyes were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. Serous retinal detachment and retinal swelling resolved within 3 months of treatment in all nine eyes., Conclusion: Distant retinal vascular leakage appears to diffuse through the outer retina to the macula, then permeate into the subretinal space.
