Purpose:
To report a case of outer retinal folds following pars plana vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane peel.
Methods:
Retrospective case report. Spectral-domain and en face optical coherence tomography findings are described.
Results:
A 54-year-old man presented with distorted vision 1 month following pars plana vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane peel and subsequent cataract extraction. Optical coherence tomography of the affected eye revealed ripple-type and taco-type outer retinal folds. En face optical coherence tomography illustrated a curvilinear characteristic pattern of the folds that spontaneously resolved with follow-up.
Conclusion:
The authors report a case of outer retinal folds developing in a patient following pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peel. En face optical coherence tomography findings of outer retinal folds may enhance diagnosis.
