Internal limiting membrane peeling using triamcinolone acetonide: Histopathologic confirmation - 25/08/11
, Brett J. Rosenblatt, MD a, b, Morton Smith, MD aRésumé |
Purpose |
To report histopathologic confirmation of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) using triamcinolone acetonide (TA).
Design |
Interventional case report.
Methods |
One eye of one patient who underwent macular hole repair using TA suspension to help visualize the internal limiting membrane (ILM). The specimen was sent to pathology.
Results |
Triamcinolone acetonide greatly improved the visualization of the ILM; the peeled area was seen as an area lacking white specks. The macular hole closed with an improvement in vision. No adverse effects were observed during the follow-up period. The specimen was identified as ILM by histopathologic examination.
Conclusion |
Peeling of the ILM is facilitated by the use of TA. Microscopic confirmation of ILM was made.
