From: Spontaneous closure of a myopic macular hole with retinal reattachment in an eye with high myopia and staphyloma: a case report

Figure 1

Spontaneous closure of a macular hole and complete retinal reattachment in a highly myopic eye. Panels a, c and e were horizontal scans, while panels b, d, f, were vertical scans. Retinal detachment and vitreoretinal traction caused by the posterior hyaloid membrane were presented (a, b); a full thickness macular hole was noted accompanied by para macular schisis inferior to the macula (b). The macular hole was closed (33 months later) and a lamellar hole formed with decreased retinal detachment (c, d). The retina (another 21 months later) stayed completely reattached with macular retinoschisis surrounding the fovea. The posterior hyaloid was detached from the inner surface of the retina in a wider area throughout the follow-up (e, f).
