Purpose:
To report the spectral domain (SD) findings in a retinal fold secondary to vitrectomy surgery.
Methods:
A 57-year-old man presented 1 month after vitrectomy surgery with gas injection (C₃F₈ 6%) in his left eye for treatment of a macula-on retinal detachment and was noted to have a retinal fold in the superior aspect of the macula. Complete ocular examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, autofluorescence, and SD optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed.
Results:
Spectral domain OCT revealed a slightly hyperreflective lesion in the outer retina, which occupied a discontinuity in the inner segment outer segment junction and extended superiorly with apparent indentation of the overlying retinal layers.
Conclusions:
This case illustrates how SD OCT may be useful in describing the morphologic substrate of retinal fold after retinal surgery.
