Comparison between Cryopreserved and Dehydrated Human Amniotic Membrane Graft in Treating Challenging Cases with Macular Hole and Macular Hole Retinal Detachment

Figure 4

Preoperative fundus photograph (a) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) image (b) of a recurrent macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in a 41-year-old male who had received scleral buckle, vitrectomy, and silicone oil tamponade for traumatic macular hole and retinal detachment. The size of the MH was about 3285 μm. Macular hole sealed, and retina was attached after transplantation of a cryopreserved human amniotic membrane (hAM) graft. Two-week postoperative fundus photograph and OCT (c, d), 1-month postoperative fundus photograph and OCT (e, f), 3-month postoperative fundus photograph and OCT (g, h), and 6-month postoperative fundus photograph and OCT (i, j) showed the hAM graft in place with tight adherence to retinal pigment epithelium, and retinal tissue grew on top of the graft (arrow). Subretinal fluid subsided gradually.
