case_images: Serial optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images showing the development of a full thickness macular hole (FTMH) in a vitrectomized eye. Optical coherence tomographic (OCT) image of the retina with an epiretinal membrane that developed 8 months after a vitreous surgery (A). Two weeks later, the MH spontaneously closed. The OCT image was obtained 4 months later (B). A lamellar macular hole (LMH) with epiretinal proliferations developed 11 months later (C and D). Note that the image in D was obtained from raster images (6 mm in length) and it shows the epiretinal proliferation. A recurrence of the MH was found 13 months after the spontaneous closure of the MH (E), which was closed by a second vitrectomy (F). The OCT images were obtained on the following dates. (A). 201X. 1. 30, (B). 201X. 5. 28, (C and D). 201X+1. 1. 22, (E). 201X+1. 3. 18, (F). 201X+1. 6. 20.

case_images: Eight months later, a MH developed in the vitrectomized right eye (Figure 1A). Four months later, OCT showed a slight elevation of the ellipsoid zone and the interdigitation zone at the fovea but the patient reported that the distorted vision of her right eye was not present (Figure 1B). Eleven months after the spontaneous closure of the MH, a LMH with EP was detected in the vitrectomized right eye (Figure 1C and D). Two months later, the BCVA had decreased to 0.7 (Figure 1E), and OCT revealed a recurrence of the FTMH with cyst-like changes in the retina. The MH was closed, and the decimal BCVA was restored to 1.2 (Figure 1F).
