  • Fundus photochromy and optical coherence tomography in epimacular membrane of traumatic eyes following virtreoretinal surgery

    Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of ocular fundus photochromy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in epimacular membrane of traumatic eyes following vitreorential surgery. Methods Ocular fundus photochromy and OCT were used to observe the morphological changes of macula in 139 consecutive patients with unilateral ocular trauma after vitreoretinal surgery between July 2003 and September 2004. Results At the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 12th month postoperatively, epimacular membranes were found in 5, 8, 17, 19, 20 patients, respectively by using photochromy; and in 7, 10, 20, 26, 27 patients, respectively by using OCT. There was no significant difference in epimacular membrane between photochromy and OCT(chi;2=0.173,Pgt;0.05). The results of OCT showed that epimacular membranes completely adhered to the macular region in 8 patients(29.63%), and retinal neurosensory layer swelled in 12 patients(44.44%)with the fovea thickness of (290.18plusmn;288.05) mu;m. Conclusion Ocular fundus photochromy and OCT are helpful in observing and discovering the epimacular membrane after virtreoretinal surgery of the patients with traumatic retinal detachment during the early and long-term follow-up period; and OCT can provide important information of the structue and position of these epimacular membranes hence to conduct to appropriate treatment. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2006, 22: 236-238)
