Time course of eccentric macular hole formation after pars plana vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane detected by optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This case report aims to describe the detailed time course of eccentric macular hole (MH) formation following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for epiretinal membrane (ERM) treatment, using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.

Observations

A 60-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with complaints of blurred vision and distortion in his left eye. He was diagnosed with an ERM in the affected eye and subsequently underwent PPV with internal limiting membrane peeling. The patient's initial postoperative course was unremarkable; however, one month later, macular edema worsened, as evidenced by OCT findings. Initially, the edema was observed in both nasal and temporal to the fovea. However, four months postoperatively, the retina fluid in the area nasal to the
