Successful management of persistent macular hole after macular hole surgery with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide: A case report
Year: 2020
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We present a case of persistent macular hole (MH) having an apical diameter of 140 microns and a basal diameter of 530 microns following a combined phacoemulsification and MH surgery. Considering post-operative cystoid macular edema (CME) as the possible reason for the failure of the initial surgery, a trial of IVTA was given. The synergistic effect of mechanical plugging of the hole by TA, coupled with resolution of cystoid changes and falling back of the macular hole resulted in the successful closure of the persistent macular hole with improvement in vision from 20/250 to 20/63.
