Comparing six cases of external macular holes and literature review

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT The characteristic optical coherence tomography finding in solar maculopathy is a well-defined outer retinal hyporeflective space primarily involving the photoreceptor inner and outer segment layers. This typical optical coherence tomography image may be present in a few other pathologies, which currently constitute their main differential diagnoses. Our study shows the report of 12 eyes of 6 patients treated at the Hospital de Olhos do Paraná, presenting their clinical history and diagnostic images, with the purpose of comparing the findings of the first 3 patients (diagnosed with solar maculopathy) with the last 3 patients, which are also cases of external macular holes.
