Various modifications of surgical techniques and surgical adjuncts ardopted with standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) to improve the outcome of traumatic macular hole (TMH) surgeries. We describe a successful closure of a chronic large TMH of three years duration with inverted temporal internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique. ld male patient had an optical coherence tomography (OCT) documented chronic macular hole (MH) for three years following blunt trauma. Fundus examination also showed choroidal rupture scar temporal to fovea. The minimum MH diameter was 769 µ and the basal diameter 1431 µ in OCT. Standard PPV with inverted temporal ILM flap and gas tamponade was done. The postoperative period was uneventful. The best corrected visual acuity improved from 6/60 preotively to 6/18 six months postoperatively, and OCT showed a closed MH with anatomical type 1 closure. This case highlights that the inverted temporal ILM flap technique is a safe and effective technique for patients with even chronic and large TMH. |
