| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To report a novel surgical technique using an autologous Tenon capsule graft (ATG) after vitrectomy for treating paracentral breaks in pathological myopia. Methods: A single case report of a patient with incipient subfoveal detachment and a paracentral break. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed, and next, an ATG was harvested and tucked into the break, followed by final air endotamponade. Results: After only two days, the ATG effectively plugged the paracentral break and optical coherence tomography demonstrated complete resolution of foveoschisis and subfoveal detachment. Conclusion: The ATG plug offers a promising alternative for the management of paracentral breaks in eyes with pathological myopia, especially those refractory or secondary to previous surgeries. Further studies will be necessary to evaluate its long-term outcomes and safety.
