Macular hole in Stargardt disease: Clinical and ultra-structural observation.
Ophthalmic Genetics 2017 September
PURPOSE: To report for the first time a case report of a Stargardt disease patient who developed a macular hole (MH) which was treated with a surgical approach.
METHOD: Case report.
RESULTS: After vitrectomy a complete closure of the MH was obtained and the best-corrected visual acuity remained stable. No complications were reported after one year of follow-up. An ultra-structural examination of the removed internal limiting membrane (ILM) and epiretinal membrane (ERM) was carried out under electron microscopy.
CONCLUSION: Vitreo-retinal surgery could represent a therapeutic option to treat vitreo-retinal interface abnormalities associated with inherited retinal diseases.
