Abstract

Purpose:To describe the first reported cases of full-thickness macular holes secondary to vitelliform lesions that were successfully closed with vitrectomy surgery and gas tamponade.Methods:Two female patients developed visual loss secondary to bilateral vitelliform lesions and associated full-thickness macular holes. The patients underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and 26% sulfur hexafluoride gas, followed by 3 days of face-down positioning.Results:In both patients, the macular holes remain closed 3 and 25 months postoperatively.Conclusion:Vitrectomy surgery with gas tamponade may successfully close full-thickness macular holes secondary to macular vitelliform lesions.
