Purpose:
To describe a case developing a macular fold as a complication of limited macular translocation, which was successfully managed without repeat vitrectomy.
Methods:
Interventional case report. A 34-year-old woman who underwent limited macular translocation for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to myopic degeneration developed a postoperative macular fold. Her visual acuity deteriorated from 20/100 to 20/200 postoperatively.
Results:
She underwent scleral shortening release and intravitreal gas injection 4 days after the initial surgery and had a resolution of macular fold with adequate foveal displacement. Her visual acuity had improved to 20/40 3 months postoperatively.
Conclusion:
Scleral shortening release and intravitreal gas injection may be considered for the management of severe macular fold caused by limited macular translocation.
