Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate macular retinal ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness changes after Brilliant Blue G-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular hole repair using a high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods.
32 eyes from 32 patients with idiopathic macular holes who underwent vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling between January 2011 and July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
GCIPL thickness was measured before surgery, and at one month and at six months after surgery.
Values obtained from automated and semimanual SD-OCT segmentation analysis were compared (Cirrus HD-OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA).
Results.
No significant differences were found between average GCIPL thickness values between preoperative and postoperative analysis.
However, statistical significant differences were found in GCIPL thickness at the temporal macular quadrants at six months after surgery.
Quality measurement analysis performed by automated segmentation revealed a significant number of segmentation errors.
Semimanual segmentation slightly improved the quality of the results.
Conclusion.
SD-OCT analysis of GCIPL thickness found a significant reduction at the temporal macular quadrants at 6 months after Brilliant Blue G-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular hole.
