One month after the operation she developed occult CNV, in which pigment epithelial detachment and fine retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) layer wrinkles were observed under the completely sealed macular hole. After 3-monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab, the lesion did not change significantly.Conclusion: CNV can develop after otherwise successful macular hole surgery, especially in patients with pre-existing aging changes in the macula, such as drusen. Care should be taken in such patients, to prevent the development of CNV after macular hole surgery.Keywords: drusen, macular hole surgery, occult choroidal neovascularization, ranimizumab injection |
