Fundus photographs and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images of a 51-year-old man with subretinal fluid blebs after vitrectomy for a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and a vision of 20/20. a: Preoperative widefield image showing a superior RRD with a retinal break (arrow) and a subretinal band (arrowheads). b: Preoperative fundus autofluorescence (FAF) image shows a hypofluorescent area corresponding the area of the RRD and hyperfluorescent area (arrowheads) at the subretinal band and the inferior edge of the RRD c: Preoperative OCT image of a horizontal scan showing that the RRD extends to the macula. d: Postoperative FAF image at 1 month showing a hyperfluorescent band (arrowheads) at the superior side of the macula and absence of a hypofluorescent area corresponding to the preoperative RRD. e: Postoperative infrared (IR) image at 1 month showing a dark band (arrowheads) on the temporal side of the macula corresponding to the hyperfluorescent area in FAF image (d) and persistent subretinal fluid (arrowhead) in the horizontal OCT (i). f: Postoperative IR image at 3 months showing an absence of the dark band area and at 6 months (g) and 12 months (h). j: Postoperative horizontal OCT at 3 months and 6 months (k) showing the persistent subretinal fluid (arrowhead) and its disappearance at 12 months (l)
