“…9 A case of large outer retinal fold was reported to resolve spontaneously, with visual acuity restored to 20/20. 10 Both our patients had partial thickness macular folds involving fovea. The decision of early surgical intervention was made because both patients were highly symptomatic and had severe partial thickness folds with inner retina-to-inner retina apposition.…”

“…Fluid-air exchange is performed to merge submacular blebs after multiple injection of subretinal balanced salt solution in some cases. 10 In patient 1, four retinotomy sites were required to induce a complete macula detachment, as the retina was abnormally adherent than usual. This is likely because there was no prior retinal detachment that might have weakened the adhesion between the retinal pigment epithelium and the retina.…”

We report two rare cases of macular fold development after membrane peeling operation for epiretinal membrane. Patient 1 developed both inner and outer retinal folds, and patient 2 developed inner retinal fold; both were partial thickness macular folds. There was no evidence of retinal detachment or any preoperative macular fold. These configurations of retinal folds after macular epiretinal membrane surgery have not been reported before. In patient 1, four retinotomy sites were required to induce a complete macula detachment, as the retina was abnormally adherent than usual. In patient 2, no macular detachment was induced, and no intravitreal tamponade was used. Soft-tip cannula was used to relieve the inner retinal attachments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case using this method to successfully manage a retinal fold. This technique avoids the potential risks associated with retinotomies, macular re-detachment, and intravitreal tamponade. Both patients achieved resolution of macular folds and improvement in visual acuity.
