IntroductionHere we investigate the clinical features of foveal detachment (FD), full-thickness macular hole (MH), and macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in myopic traction maculopathy (MTM).MethodsIn the retrospective observational case series, 314 eyes of 198 patients with myopic retinoschisis in Beijing Tongren Hospital were enrolled. We recorded gender, age, and axial length and evaluated fundus characteristics using optical coherence tomography. Epiretinal membranes (ERMs), vitreoretinal traction, and paravascular abnormalities (PVAs) were used to describe the vitreoretinal interface condition. Different retinoschisis layers (inner, middle, and outer retinoschisis) and the location with a range of outer retinoschisis were evaluated to reveal the retinal condition. Five patterns of the scleral shape: dome-shaped, sloped toward the optic nerve, symmetrical or asymmetrical around the fovea, and irregular were assessed to show retina-sclera condition. We regarded the FD, full-thickness MH, and MHRD as the advanced stage in MTM. Multivariate logistic regression assessed significant factors for the advanced stage with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsThere were 76 eyes with FD, 6 eyes with full-thickness MH, and 7 eyes with MHRD. The mean age was 52.9 & PLUSMN; 12.3 years. On univariate analysis, the eyes with the advanced stage were older and had higher rates of ERMs, PVAs, middle retinoschisis, outer retinoschisis, and irregular sclera shape. The number of retinoschisis layers and the grade of outer retinoschisis were higher in eyes with the advanced stage. After multivariate logistic regression, ERMs (OR 1.983; 95% CI 1.093-3.595; P = 0.024), middle retinoschisis (OR 2.967; 95% CI 1.630-5.401; P < 0.001), and higher grades of outer retinoschisis (OR 2.227; 95% CI 1.711-2.898; P < 0.001) remained associated with the advanced stage.ConclusionERMs, middle retinoschisis, and more extensive outer retinoschisis were significant characteristics of the advanced stage in MTM.
