case_images: One month after the injection, the patient developed a juxtafoveal RPE tear [Fig. 1A]. OCT evaluation with Stratus showed an area devoid of RPE reflectivity corresponding to the tear with an adjoining area of high reflectivity indicating the scrolled up margin of the RPE [Fig. 1B].

case_images: One year into the follow-up, a new RPE tear was noted, extending from the superior border of the first tear (Fig. 2A, area within blue arrows represents the first RPE tear and the area within the red arrows represents the second tear). SD-OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Vista, CA / Germany), of the left eye revealed an elevated RPE corresponding to the scrolled margin of the tear [Fig. 2B, 2D].
