Macular hole formation after vitreomacular detachment with an operculum

Conclusion: In this case, the MH resulted from the tangential traction caused by the epiretinal membrane after vitreomacular detachment developed; the MH was accompanied by a small round operculum, a retinal dimple beneath the membrane, and a tightrope-like structure that bridged the hole edges. The operculum likely comprised a detached inner foveal retina alone and did not include retinal photoreceptor cells.
