Hyperreflective Stress Lines and Macular Holes

Abstract

SD-OCT illustrated the presence of a central vertical hyperreflective line preceding FTMH and after resolution of FTMH after PPVT in approximately one-half of cases, and concurrent with LMH in 25% of cases. This vertical hyperreflective line may represent an early SD-OCT marker for the development of FTMH, and may be a sign of central foveal dehiscence owing to disruption of the Muller cell cone.
