Abstract:
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.
