Abstract

Background

We report the occurrence of a macular hole with subhyaloid 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 subhyaloid bleeding. Optical coherence tomography confirmed the presence of a full-thickness macular hole.

Conclusion

A full-thickness macular hole with subretinal and retinal hemorrhage is reported as a complication of glaucoma filtering surgery.
