Aim of this study was to assess the anatomical and functional outcome following surgery of idiopathic macular hole. This interventional study was conducted in the Department of Vitreo retina, National institute of ophthalmology and hospital, Dhaka from December 2020 to August 2022. A total, 50 patients having idiopathic macular hole were included during the study period according to selection criteria. Preoperative logarithm of minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity was measured and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was done for further staging of hole. Pars plana vitrectomy, ILM peeling assisted with Brilliant blue G dye and perfluoropropane gas tamponade was done under local anesthesia. Patients were instructed to maintain a facedown position for two weeks. Postoperatively, patients were examined on day one, day seven, after one and three months. At each follow up visual acuity, ocular examination and measurement of intraocular pressure was done. OCT was done to assess anatomical closure of hole and final visual outcome was measured as best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at three months after surgery.

Neurological examination revealed painful sensory-motor neuropathy involving the bilateral median and ulnar nerves, as well as the right tibial and left common peroneal nerves- findings consistent with mononeuritis multiplex.
