This 52YO female underwent vitrectomy for a hand motion, macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment on 1/25/21. Despite successful reattachment, vision was counting fingers postoperatively, in part due to a severe macular pucker identified on 8/4/21. An ectopic secondary macular hole was present in the inferotemporal macula.

Vitrectomy surgery with membrane peeling was performed on 10/14/21. One week postoperatively, the ectopic hole was closed, and the macula was completely free of epimacular tissue. When last examined on 3/24/23, vision was 20/70.
