PURPOSE: To describe a clinical appearance of macular edema secondary to extrafoveal retinal hole using coronal (en-face) optical coherence tomography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (OCT/SLO) imaging. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: A 76-year-old man developed an extrafoveal retinal hole in his right eye after pars plana vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane removal 1 year after surgery. He complained of decreased central vision. Coronal scan showed extrafoveal retinal hole with multiple retinal cysts surrounding the retinal hole and communicating with the macular area. CONCLUSION: The OCT/SLO ophthalmoscope can be useful in understanding pathophysiology of macular edema.
