title: Macular hole and sub-hyaloid hemorrhage following filtering surgery with mitomycin C.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We report the occurrence of a macular hole with sub-hyaloid hemorrhage following filtering surgery with mitomycin C.
  
  
  METHODS
  Combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C was performed in the left eye for primary congenital glaucoma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Two weeks postoperatively the fundus showed a macular hole with subretinal and retinal hemorrhage along with sub-hyaloid bleeding. Optical coherence tomography confirmed the presence of a full-thickness macular hole.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A full-thickness macular hole with subretinal and retinal hemorrhage is reported as a complication of glaucoma filtering surgery.
