Abstract

Macular fold is an infrequent complication after retinal detachment surgery. In this report, long-term changes of macular fold are demonstrated using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Although spontaneous resolution was noted in this study, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed morphologic changes in the photoreceptor layer after resolution of macular fold, hyperreflective photoreceptor outer segment, and distorted Henle’s fiber layer, which might be associated with poor visual outcome even after resolution of the fold.
