PURPOSE: To report a series of full-thickness @entity937 ( @entity937 ) that developed after pars plana vitrectomy for @entity1713 ( @entity1713 ). METHODS: A retrospective review of the demographic and medical data, including optical coherence tomography studies of 6 @entity1 (7 eyes) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for @entity1713 and subsequently developed @entity937 . RESULTS: There were 4 @entity1 and 2 @entity1 with a mean age of 60    10 years (range, 50-79 years). The mean interval between @entity1713 repair and @entity937 formation was 20    18 months (range, 1-48 years). Five eyes underwent surgery to repair the MHs, four of which were closed at the last follow-up. Two eyes were not operated, one because of unfavorable prognosis, and in the other, which presented with an epiretinal membrane before the development of the @entity937 , the hole closed spontaneously. In all operated cases, the inner limiting membrane was peeled during @entity937 surgery. The mean logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution was 0.73, 0.53, 0.77, and 0.57 at @entity1713 presentation, after surgical repair of @entity1713 and before @entity937 diagnosis, at @entity937 presentation, and at last follow-up, respectively. The study subjects accounted for 1.1% of our 609 @entity1 who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for primary @entity1713 during the study period. CONCLUSION: Macular hole may develop after pars plana vitrectomy for @entity1713 , and these cases can be surgically repaired. The pathogenesis of the formation of these holes remains unclear.
