Series of fundus photographs of Case 1, a 48-year-old woman who presented with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of the right eye invading from the 8 o’clock to 4 o’clock positions and involving the whole macula. Preoperatively, a beaded retinal vein with surrounding dot hemorrhage (red dots circle) was present inferior to the macula (A). A fundus photo taken at 10 days postoperatively showed tamponading air and the continued presence of the beaded retinal vein and adjacent dot hemorrhage around it (B). The dot hemorrhage appeared to have worsened in severity by postoperative week 4 (C) and to have worsened further at postoperative week 8 (D). Fluorescein angiography performed at 10 months postoperatively revealed no additional pathology (E). The dot hemorrhage was decreased in the fundus photo taken at 1 year postoperatively (F). A drawing of the preoperative fundus features (Fig. 1A) showed detached retina (blue color) and territory of the occluded retinal vein (G). Green bar indicates the presumed occluded lesion of retinal vein (G). A drawing of fundus features at 4 weeks after the surgery (Fig. 1D) (H)
