ABSTRACT
Purpose@#To report a case of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) formation secondary to demarcation laser retinopexy in a retinal break with localized retinal detachment patient.Case summary:
A 59-year-old male visited our clinic with ocular discomfort in both eyes. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 0.63 in right eye. Large retinal break in 130 o/c, localized retinal detachment and laser marking scars all around the right eye were found in fundoscopic exam. Posterior-vitreous detachment or vitreomacular traction was not observed in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Demarcation laser retinopexy was performed around the margin of retinal detachment and peripheral degenerative lesions. Three months after demarcation laser retinopexy, UCVA in right eye of the patient was decreased to 0.16 and full thickness macular hole was observed on OCT examination. Pars planar vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and SF6 gas tamponade were performed in the right eye. One month after the surgery, closure of FTMH was observed. Three months after surgery, there were no recurrence of FTMH in the right eye. @*Conclusions@#Demarcation laser photocoagulation of localized retinal detachments may predispose to FTMH formation. Even though it can be occurred rarely, follow-up check-up is necessary in consideration of the possibility of FTMH, which can cause serious visual loss.
