Total Retinal Detachment from Giant Macular Hole

Congratulations to Anand Temkar and Manish Nagpal for submitting the Retina Rocks Case of the Month. This 10YO boy presented with 1 week of vision loss in his left eye. The parents gave a vague history of trauma with a tennis ball 2 years earlier. Vision was counting fingers OD and 20/20 in his normal OS. Ultrawidefield (image 2) and macular (image 1) pseudocolor SLO imaging shows a giant macular hole occupying nearly the entire macula. The hole’s edges are rolled, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy with star folds are present within the total rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Blunt ocular trauma can result in numerous sequelae, including commotio retina, retinal breaks and detachment, choroidal rupture, and macular hole. A giant macular hole, also reported in Alport syndrome (Shah and Weinberg Ophthalmic Genetics 2010;31(2):93-97), is an exceedingly rare traumatic event (Hernandez-Da Mota Case Rep Ophthalmol 2011;2:283-286). Traumatic macular holes are thought to result from a vitreous coup contrecoup injury or a jet stream of anterior chamber aqueous humor shooting through Cloquet canal into the premacular bursa. Emergent vitrectomy with silicone oil was scheduled.
