Abstract

With the recent advent of high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT), atypical epiretinal tissue (AET), also known as epiretinal proliferation, has been frequently noted in various pathologies. AET presents as premacular tissue with homogenous medium reflectivity over the internal limiting membrane on OCT. Although AET is most frequently associated with a lamellar hole (LH), some cases of macular hole (MH) also accompany AET at the edge of the hole. MH with AET has been reported to have worse clinical and surgical outcomes than MH without AET. The imaging and histopathological findings of AET imply that the development of MH with AET may not have been driven by vitreofoveal traction. Instead, MH with AET might have evolved from LH with AET. This mini-review encompassed relevant studies on MH with AET published to date and explained the clinical, prognostic, and pathogenic significance of AET in MH in detail.
