Abstract
Fibrocellular proliferation appears to be a secondary event instead of a primary feature in macular hole development. The severity of fibrocellular proliferation is associated with the presence of NVC. Incomplete vitreoretinal separation may contribute to the development of epimacular membranes in eyes with idiopathic macular holes. Remnants of the vitreous cortex remain more often attached to the ILM in eyes with spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) than in eyes with surgical PVD induction.
