Macular Hole with Epiretinal Proliferation: Diagnostic Value of En-Face Optical Coherence Tomography and Clinical Characteristics

To elucidate the clinical features and surgical outcomes of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) with epiretinal proliferation (EP) diagnosed by both en-face and B-mode optical coherence tomography (OCT). This retrospective cohort study classified idiopathic FTMHs into two groups, based on B-scan and en-face OCT imaging: FTMH with EP (EP group) and without EP (non-EP group). The preoperative features, as well as postoperative outcomes up to 12 months, were compared between the two groups. Among 318 eyes of idiopathic FTMH that met the inclusion criteria, 59 eyes (18.6
