Figure 2

Postoperative color fundus photograph and serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) exams of case 7. (A) Color fundus photograph showed the one large retinal break securely covered by a human amniotic membrane (hAM) graft (arrow head). Also, there was one pice of hAM dislocated at the subretinal space within the vascular arcade intraoperatively (arrow). (B) Ten days after surgery, OCT scans over the location of retinal break showed the hAM graft covering the large break. (C) Six months later, follow-up OCT showed marked retina and glial tissue growing to cover the retina defect (arrow). And the graft remained stable without change in size. (D) Ten days after surgery, OCT scans of the dislocated subretinal hAM graft showed a sheet of hAM under the retina. (E) Six months later, the follow-up OCT revealed that there was no atrophy of the retina over the amniotic membrane. The retina structure remained intact and even more partial recovery of ellipsoid zone of the previous detached retina was observed.
