Temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique for myopic macular hole retinal detachment reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the effects of the temporal inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique for foveal reconstruction in patients with highly myopic macular hole-associated retinal detachment (MHRD).

Methods

A retrospective case series analysis of four patients (four eyes) with MHRD was conducted. The foveal optical coherence tomography changes following treatment using the temporal inverted ILM flap technique were evaluated.

Results

In Patient 1, the ILM bridged the macular hole and residual subretinal fluid on postoperative day 6, and complete retinal reattachment was achieved at 19 months. Patient 2 exhibited reduced retinal detachment, with visible ILM inversion and macular hole closure after 14 days. In Patient 3, macular hole closure and fovea form
