Abstract

E-POSTER ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:To present a case of spontaneous closure of macular hole in a case of sarcoidosis with posterior uveitis following anti-inflammatory therapy.

DESIGN:Observational Single case study

METHODS:A patient diagnosed with ocular, systemic,hematological and radiological features of Sarcoidosis and also a full thickness macular hole,was started on anti-inflammatory therapy and was closely followed up by recording Vision and OCT during subsequent visits.

RESULTS:After 5-6 moths of treatment, there was an improvement in visual acuity and spontaneous closure of macular hole was observed on OCT.

CONCLUSION:The occurrence of a macular hole linked to posterior uveitis is an uncommon but under-estimated cause of sight loss.Etiological treatment seems to lead to macular hole closure in most such cases.SD-OCT is very useful for assessing the evolution of these cases and should be performed whenever there is a posterior involvement/unexplained sight loss in uveitis patients.
