Asymmetrical thickness of parafoveal retina around surgically closed macular hole.

摘要

Since the initial report on the surgical closure of idiopathic macular holes (MHs), the surgical technique for closing an MH has been significantly modified. The peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) was shown to improve the anatomical and functional success rate. In successfully closed MHs, the parafpveal temporal retina appeared to be thinner than the nasal parafoveal area in the optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images.
