Evolution from macular pseudohole to lamellar macular hole — spectral domain OCT study
Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of macular pseudohole (MPH) is supposed to be different from that of macular lamellar hole (LMH). MPH is
thought to be caused by centripetal contraction of previously present epiretinal membrane. LMH is considered to be an effect
of abortive process of full-thickness macular hole formation, or a result of de-roofing of a foveal cyst in persistent cystoid
macular oedema. In most cases of LMH, epiretinal membranes are present. The aim of this paper is to show that LMH and MPH
may have a common origin and that LMH may evolve from MPH as an epiretinal membrane ...
