    PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of modified internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique combined with vitreous surgery for treating macular holes and examine the outcomes in visual function and anatomic macular hole closure. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective, observational. METHODS: Between July 1, 2015, and October 1, 2019, the modified inverted ILM flap technique combined with vitreous surgery was used to treat idiopathic macular holes, postoperative progression was then followed for at least 6 months in 96 participants (98 eyes). We modified the method by removing the lower half of the ILM while peeling and inverting the upper half. The mean age of the participants was 65.9 ± 11.9 years (41 men (42.7%) and 55 women (57.3%)). Retrospective evaluations of macular hole diameter, corrected visual acuity, and macular hole closure rates were performed using data from medical records. RESULTS: The mean macular hole diameter was 623.6 ± 207.4 μm. The mean corrected visual acuity (logMAR) was 0.79 ± 0.27 before surgery and 0.46 ± 0.35 at 1, 0.35 ± 0.39 at 3, and 0.31 ± 0.36 at 6 months Post surgery, showing significant differences before and after surgery (p = 2.30 × 10- 2). The macular hole closure rate was 98%. CONCLUSION: The modified inverted ILM flap technique combined with vitreous surgery was an effective method for treating macular holes, resulting in improvement in closure and visual acuity.

    PURPOSE: We report a case of neuroretinitis associated with cat scratch disease (CSD) in young children. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: A 16-month-old boy was admitted for a detailed examination and treatment of a fever of unknown origin. Blood tests revealed no significant findings other than a white blood cell count of 16,100/mm3 and C-reactive protein level of 9.89 mg/dL. Computed tomography revealed no relevant findings to determine the causative disease. Antibiotic therapy with cefotaxime was initiated; however, the fever did not resolve. The patient was referred to our department for further examination to detect the cause of the fever. Fundoscopy revealed neuroretinitis in the right eye. His mother reported a history of breeding cats. Cat scratch disease (CSD) was suspected based on the clinical course and fundus findings. Cefotaxime was discontinued, and azithromycin, rifampicin, and prednisolone were administered, following which the fever disappeared and fundus findings improved. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies against Bartonella henselae was positive, leading to a definitive diagnosis of CSD. CONCLUSION: Infants cannot complain of decreased visual acuity; therefore, these findings may be overlooked unless a fundus examination is performed. As in this case, the early detection of neuroretinitis by an ophthalmologist may help in the diagnosis of CSD. It is extremely difficult to capture a photograph of the fundus of an infant, and recording with a smartphone is relatively simple and useful for monitoring continuous changes. Summary. We describe a case of neuroretinitis associated with cat scratch disease (CSD) that was diagnosed on the basis of fundus findings. The findings suggest the importance of an aggressive ophthalmologic examination when CSD is suspected in young children who are unable to describe their symptoms.
