PURPOSE: To report the spectral domain (SD) findings in a retinal fold secondary to vitrectomy surgery. METHODS: A 57-year-old man presented 1 month after vitrectomy surgery with gas injection (C₃F₈ 6%) in his left eye for treatment of a macula-on retinal detachment and was noted to have a retinal fold in the superior aspect of the macula. Complete ocular examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, autofluorescence, and SD optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed. RESULTS: Spectral domain OCT revealed a slightly hyperreflective lesion in the outer retina, which occupied a discontinuity in the inner segment outer segment junction and extended superiorly with apparent indentation of the overlying retinal layers. CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates how SD OCT may be useful in describing the morphologic substrate of retinal fold after retinal surgery.
