Pseudohole or Macular Pseudohole OCT is a type of medical imaging technology that produces high-resolution cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of the eye. In a full-thickness macular hole, the OCT scan will confirm the absence of retinal layers, as well as a full thickness defect in the retina.
Macular Cyst Hole Or Pseudohole Of Retina. Category. Other Retinal Disorders. Description. A macular hole is a defect of the foveal retina involving its full thickness from the internal limiting membrane (ILM) to the outer segment of the photoreceptor layer.
Full thickness macular hole (FTMH) is a common maculopathy, which causes debilitating central vision loss and impairment of the quality of life of patients. It is usually idiopathic, but may be associated with trauma, high myopia and solar retinopathy.
Lamellar macular hole (LMH) is a vitreoretinal disorder characterized by an irregular foveal contour, a break in the inner fovea, dehiscence of the inner foveal retina from the outer retina, and the absence of a full-thickness foveal defect with intact foveal photoreceptors. The pathogenesis is only partially known.
Please note: The epiretinal membrane (ERM) can have varying degrees of retinal cone disruption from none or minimal to significant. It is the degree of this cone disruption that affects the final visual outcome. Pseudohole is simply an appearance of the retina due to contraction (or pulling) from the ERM.
A macular cyst may result from diabetes, damage to blood vessels, surgery, inflammation, or trauma to your eye. Macular cysts are also sometimes used to describe a macular hole, which is a tear that occurs in the macula.
A macular hole is a small gap that opens at the centre of the retina, in an area called the macula. The retina is the light-sensitive film at the back of the eye. In the centre is the macula – the part responsible for central and fine-detail vision needed for tasks such as reading.
1. Macular hole. When to refer: Once a true retinal break is apparent (stage 2-4), the patient should be referred for surgical treatment. Repair is successful in most patients, and the earlier the treatment, the better the prognosis for the patient.
Stage 3: Full-Thickness Hole – When a macular hole develops to this stage, most central and detailed vision can be lost. A macular hole can lead to a detached retina, a sight-threatening condition that should receive immediate medical attention.
Dr. Thompson defined pseudomacular holes as a clinical diagnosis as seen via slit lamp biomicroscopy versus optical coherence tomography (OCT). “Use pseudomacular holes only to describe the biomicroscopic appearance,” he added. In contrast, a lamellar macular hole is defined by the appearance of the fovea via OCT.
A macular hole is a full thickness defect in the macula whilst a lamellar macular hole is only a partial thicknessdefect in the macula.
There are four stages of a macular hole: small foveal detachments with a partial-thickness defect (stage 1), small full-thickness holes (stage 2), larger full-thickness holes without vitreous separation from the retina (stage 3), and larger full-thickness holes with vitreous separation (stage 4).
