title: Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling by 23-Gauge Endoscopy for Macular Hole Retinal Detachment in a Pathological Myopic Eye.
abstract: Endoscopic vitrectomy can uniquely circumvent anterior segment opacities and is applied to a wide spectrum of retina diseases with media opacities. However, endoscopic internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling has not been described. The authors present one case of a retinal detachment caused by a macular hole in a pathological myopic eye combined with severe keratoleukoma. The 1-year outcome after 23-gauge endoscopic ILM peeling was good. This case report demonstrates that ILM peeling with a 23-gauge endoscope, which requires subtle and difficult macular manipulation, is feasible and effectively treats macular holes complicated with anterior segment opacities.
