Purpose:To study the histopathology of a stage III macular hole that had been treated by vitrectomy with cortical vitreous and epicortical vitreous membrane peeling and gas tamponade.Methods:The light and electron microscopic features of a treated macular hole were studied.Results:A 16-μm-wide break was present in the external limiting membrane. This was sealed by Müller cell processes. Photoreceptors adjacent to the healed defect appeared normal. No cystoid macular edema was present.Conclusion:Cortical vitreous peeling and gas tamponade can allow the macular hole to settle and the edges to re-approximate. The residual defect can be sealed by Müller cells.
