Description
Background Retinal folds (RF) following retinal detachment (RD) surgery are infrequent complications and their management is controversial. Spontaneous resolution of RF has been reported. Methods An observational case report of a surgical complication of RD surgery was done. The progressive migration of a postoperative macular fold away from the center of the fovea was documented by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinography. Results A macular fold was detected following 23G vitrectomy with liquid perfluorocarbon injection, photocoagulation, and SF6 injection to treat a bullous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In the following year, visual acuity remained stable at 20/25 while the macular fold migrated 1 mm away from the center of the fovea. Conclusions A conservative approach may be appropriate in cases of macular fold following retinal detachment surgery, provided that good visual acuity is present and OCT shows a trend towards migration of the macular fold.
