Macular Hole Formation Six Months after Hemorrhage Displacement for Submacular and Henle Fiber Layer Hemorrhage due to Retinal Arterial Macroaneurysm Rupture.

A 78-year-old woman presented with sudden vision loss and central scotoma. Visual acuity in the right eye was 20/222, with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) and Henle fiber layer hemorrhage (HFLh) due to retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) rupture. She underwent SMH displacement, including cataract surgery, vitrectomy, intravitreal injection of tissue-plasminogen activator, and air tamponade. Three months postoperatively the SMH and HFLh had disappeared and visual acuity had improved to 20/200. Six months postoperatively, a macular hole had developed. We performed an inverted internal limiting membrane flap and gas tamponade. Ten months later, the hole had closed and visual acuity had improved to 20/100.
