Purpose: To describe the evolution of a full-thickness macular hole in myopic foveoschisis. Methods: A 62-year-old woman with myopic foveoschisis developed a full-thickness maculare hole after 36 months. The evolution of the macular hole was observed by optical coherence tomography (Stratus OCT3). Results: During the first stages of macular hole formation, a small triangular foveolar retinal detachment, with corresponding elevation of inner segment/outer segment junction line, was observed. The retinal detachment later enlarged. A concrete intraretinal columnar structure, extending between the inner fovea's layer and the roof of foveal detachment, was observed. Conclusion: The so-called columnar structure, detected in our case, possibly transmitted the vitreomacular traction contributing to the opening of the RD roof, the outer lamellar macular hole formation, and finally in the creation of a full-thickness macular hole. © 2014 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. |
