CHANG HERNANDEZ, Mayumi et al. Cystic macular edema after idiopathic macular hole surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.2, pp.1-9. ISSN 0864-2176.

The idiopathic macular hole is caused by tangential tensile forces associated with degenerative perifoveal posterior vitreous detachment, and the treatment is currently surgical in stage 2, 3 or 4 patients. We presented a clinical case in which we described the anatomical and functional alterations produced by cyst macular edema after idiopathic macular hole surgery in a stage 3 patient. After a successful anatomical and functional closure, it began with cystic macular edema; and the reopening of the macular hole did not occur, responding to the use of recommended local steroids for these cases, and finally the initial visual results after surgery were improved.

Keywords : idiopathic macular hole; cystic macular edema; spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
