From: Full-thickness macular hole formation in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Type 1 pathway of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) formation in the right eye of a 69-year-old woman with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). (a,b) Fundus photography and optical computed tomography (OCT) showed hard exudates temporal to the fovea and vitreomacular traction (VMT) with foveoschisis and foveal cysts. (c) 1 month later, foveal detachment with progression of foveoschisis and foveal cysts developed. (d) OCT showed a FTMH without the adhesion of posterior hyaloid 5 months later. (e) 1 month later, the FTMH and foveal detachment became larger, and epiretinal membrane (ERM) was visible. (f) Another 1 month later, macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) was noted. (g) 2 weeks after surgery, U-shaped macular hole (MH) closure was noted. (h) 1.5 years later, foveal contour changed to W-shaped closure.
