Abstract
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.Keywords
