Abstract：
PURPOSE:To describe a patient with resolved hypotony maculopathy with a persistent retinal fold (despite normalization of intraocular pressure [IOP]) who underwent successful surgical intervention by vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peel, and gas tamponade. DESIGN:Interventional case report. METHODS:A 55-year-old man with a hypotony-induced macular retinal fold that did not improve following normalization of IOP underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and gas injection. Optical coherence tomography scans were performed both before and after surgery. RESULTS:Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 6/60 preoperatively to 6/9, with improvement in distortion. On repeat optical coherence tomography examination, the macular retinal fold had resolved. CONCLUSION:Vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade may be useful for cases of resolved hypotony maculopathy complicated by a persistent macular fold after normalization of IOP.
