Abstract
This report describes the use of inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique as a treatment option for traumatic macular holes (MHs) with severe macular pathology. An interventional case series of two patients who experienced blunt trauma is reported. One patient developed two adjacent MHs and the second patient a MH with focal tissue avulsion in the fovea. Each patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy with ILM flap creation and intraocular gas tamponade. The ILM flap technique was successfully used for closure of MHs in one patient with a traumatic double MH and another patient with MH with foveal tissue avulsion. Visual acuity and symptoms improved in both patients. The ILM flap technique is a useful option for patients even with advanced pathologic findings subsequent to traumatic MH formation.
