Description
Abdulaziz Al Taisan presents a 2024 case report on a flap that partly lifted after successful eye surgery. A twenty-four-year-old man developed a full-thickness hole in his macula, the eye's central vision spot, after a blunt injury. His sight worsened before surgery. Surgeons removed the eye's gel and laid an inverted flap of the inner limiting membrane over the hole, sealing it with gas. The hole closed, and scans showed the flap hinged in place.
Three months later he returned with a central floater, though his sight had improved. Scans showed the flap partly detached. The author warns that such flaps can peel loose once the gas fades, even after a clean closure.
