Abstract
Objective:
To describe nine cases of macular holes with atypical presentations and propose possible mechanistic explanations.
Setting:
The steps leading to typical idiopathic macular hole formation have recently been defined.
Patients:
Patients included seven with previous retinal detachment and subsequent macular hole formation and two with macular hole formation after vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane removal.
Conclusions:
The occurrence of these cases may seem to contradict reported pathogenesis schemes, but they are explainable within reported grading schemes.
