Abstract

Purpose

To determine the outcomes of vitrectomy with scleral imbrication in highly myopic eyes with either myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) or macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD).

Methods

The medical records of 17 patients who had undergone vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and scleral imbrication for MTM or MHRD were reviewed. The best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs), the axial length, the macular hole (MH) closure rate, and the shape of the posterior segment determined by optical coherence tomography were evaluated. Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D-MRI) was also performed on five eyes.

Results

The postoperative BCVA improved significantly from 0.76 ± 0.39 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) units to 0.53 ± 0.35 logMAR units (P = 0.0004). The axial length decreased from 29.42 ± 1.81 mm to 27.97 ± 1.71 mm at 1 month. The MTM was resolved or decreased in all eyes. The MH was closed in 44 % of the MHRD eyes, and the retina was reattached in all of the MHRD eyes. The horizontal distance between the optic disc and the bottom of the posterior staphyloma was significantly decreased at 1 month (P = 0.012) but not at later times. The 3D-MRI images showed a reduction in the distance between the bottom of the posterior staphyloma and the center of the eye (P = 0.029) and a flattening of the posterior staphyloma (P = 0.010).

Conclusions

Vitrectomy with ILM peeling and scleral imbrication may be helpful in treating MTM and MHRD by reducing the degree of curvature of the posterior staphyloma.
