Use of coronal simultaneous optical coherence tomography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy to demonstrate cystoid macular edema secondary to extrafoveal retinal hole.
OBJECTIVE
To describe a clinical appearance of macular edema secondary to extrafoveal retinal hole using coronal (en-face) optical coherence tomography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (OCT/SLO) imaging.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
A 76-year-old man developed an extrafoveal retinal hole in his right eye after pars plana vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane removal 1 year after surgery. He complained of decreased central vision. Coronal scan showed extrafoveal retinal hole with multiple retinal cysts surrounding the retinal hole and communicating with the macular area.


CONCLUSIONS
The OCT/SLO ophthalmoscope can be useful in understanding pathophysiology of macular edema.
