| Abstract | Background To compare the ocular features of highly myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma of wide macular type according to its morphological complexity. Methods In this cross-sectional study, wide macular posterior staphyloma (WMPS) was classified into the primary (Curtin type I) and the compound (Curtin types VI to X) forms based on the configuration within the staphyloma. The grades of myopic maculopathy and the thicknesses of choroid and sclera were compared between the primary and compound forms of WMPS. Results A total of 154 eyes (103 patients) with primary WMPS and 65 eyes (49 patients) with compound WMPS were included. Eyes with compound WMPS had worse visual acuity (P = 0.001) and greater axial length (P < 0.001) than those with primary WMPS. Compared to primary WMPS, compound WMPS had a higher grade of myopic macular degeneration (P < 0.001) and a higher frequency of lamellar or full-thickness macular hole associated with myopic traction (21.5% vs. 10.4%; P = 0.028) and active or scarred myopic choroidal neovascularization (33.8% vs. 20.1%; P = 0.030). On swept-source optical coherence tomography, eyes with compound WMPS had significantly thinner choroid and sclera. Conclusions The compound form of WMPS had more severe myopic macular changes and worse visual prognosis compared to the primary form of WMPS, and these were associated with more structural deformation in the posterior eyeball. Compound WMPS should be considered as an advanced form of staphyloma. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
