Case in brief

The management involved autologous retinal transplantation, which successfully resulted in complete retinal reattachment and closure of the macular hole.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should consider autologous retinal transplantation as a viable option for managing retinal detachment with macular holes in complex post-surgical scenarios.

Why it matters
