Abstract

Abstract : 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. Abstract : Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text.Pars plana vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane peel may be complicated by outer retinal folds that have characteristic findings with optical coherence tomography and en face optical coherence tomography and typically resolve spontaneously over several months.
