Successful treatment of macular holes associated with peripheral retinal vascular tumours

Background Macular holes have been described in association with benign vascular tumours of the retina. However, their successful treatment has not been reported. Patients and methods Three patients with macular holes associated with retinal vascular tumours had vitrectomy, peeling of the internal limiting membrane, and intraocular gas tamponade. Results In all three cases, the macular holes were successfully closed, and the visual acuity improved. Conclusion Macular holes associated with benign retinal vascular tumours respond to conventional macular hole surgical techniques.
