Abstract
Background:
Macular holes have been described in association with benign vascular tumours of the retina. However, their successful treatment has not been reported.
Patients And Methods:
Three patients with macular holes associated with retinal vascular tumours had vitrectomy, peeling of the internal limiting membrane, and intraocular gas tamponade.
Results:
In all three cases, the macular holes were successfully closed, and the visual acuity improved.
Conclusion:
Macular holes associated with benign retinal vascular tumours respond to conventional macular hole surgical techniques.
