This study aimed to determine the incidence of bilateral macular holes (MHs), and to investigate the incidence and characteristics of retinal abnormalities in the fellow eyes, using high-definition optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Medical records from 724 consecutive patients diagnosed with full-thickness MHs, who underwent surgery at Fujita Health University Hospital from May 2015 to March 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. Based on the exclusion criteria, 658 patients with idiopathic MHs were included. B-scan OCT images of the fellow eyes were used to identify vitreoretinal interface abnormalities, such as MHs, epiretinal membranes (ERMs), vitreomacular traction syndrome (VMTS) and lamellar macular holes (LMHs).
The mean age of the patients was 65.9±9.0 years. There were 292 males (44.4%) and 366 females (55.6%). There were 39 fellow eyes with MHs (5.9%), 77 with ERMs (11.7%), 32 with VMTS (4.9%) and 11 with LMHs (1.7%). Thirty-four fellow eyes (5.2%) could not be classified and 469 fellow eyes were normal (71.3%). Furthermore, the 39 bilateral MHs were divided into four stages according to the Gass classification, as follows: stage 1, 32 eyes (82.1%); stage 2, none (0%); stage 3, 5 eyes (12.8%); and stage 4, 2 eyes (5.1%).
Vitreoretinal interface abnormalities, such as MHs, ERMs, VMTS and LMHs, are more common in the fellow eyes of patients with MHs than in the healthy population. The fellow eyes of patients with MHs should be carefully followed using OCT.
本研究旨在利用高清光学相干断层扫描(OCT)确定双侧黄斑裂孔(MHs)的发生率,并调查对侧眼视网膜异常的发生率及特征。
回顾性分析2015年5月至2022年3月在藤田保健大学医院接受手术的724例连续诊断为全层MHs患者的病历。根据排除标准,纳入658例特发性MHs患者。使用对侧眼的B超OCT图像识别玻璃体视网膜界面异常,如MHs、视网膜前膜(ERMs)、玻璃体黄斑牵引综合征(VMTS)和板层黄斑裂孔(LMHs)。
患者的平均年龄为65.9±9.0岁。男性292例(44.4%),女性366例(55.6%)。对侧眼中有39例存在MHs(5.9%),77例有ERMs(11.7%),32例有VMTS(4.9%),11例有LMHs(1.7%)。34例对侧眼(5.2%)无法分类。469例对侧眼正常(71.3%)。此外,39例双侧MHs根据Gass分类分为四个阶段,如下:1期,32只眼(82.1%);2期,无(0%);3期,5只眼(12.8%);4期,2只眼(5.1%)。
玻璃体视网膜界面异常,如MHs、ERMs、VMTS和LMHs,在MHs患者的对侧眼中比在健康人群中更常见。应使用OCT对MHs患者的对侧眼进行仔细随访。
