Fundus photograph and OCT images of a 53-year-old man with subretinal deposits after vitrectomy for a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). a: Preoperative widefield image showing superior and inferior bullous RRD (arrowheads) with a superior retinal break (arrow). Vision is 20/50 due to the macula-off RRD. b: Preoperative fundus autofluorescence (FAF) image showing a hypofluorescent area corresponding the area of RRD and hyperfluorescent wrinkles (arrowheads) at the posterior pole and the inferior edge of the RRD. c: Preoperative infrared (IR) image showing a dark area corresponding to the RDD at the macula and temporal and inferior quadrants. d: Preoperative optical coherence tomographic image of a horizontal section showing a macula-off RRD with elongations of the outer segments (arrowheads) of the detached retina. e: Intraoperative image after internal limiting membrane peeling (arrowheads) with assist of Brilliant Blue G showing green deposits (arrows) in the subretinal space and perfluorocarbon liquid helped to move the subretinal deposits away from the macula (Supplemental videoclip-1). f: Postoperative FAF image at 1 month showing hypofluorescent spots (arrowheads) inferior to the macula after retinal reattachment. g: Postoperative FAF image at 6 months showing persistent hypofluorescent spots (arrowheads) inferior to the macula and in the inferior quadrants. h: Postoperative IR image at 1 month showing bright spots (arrowheads) corresponding to the hypofluorescent spots in the FAF image (f) and hyperreflective subretinal deposits (arrowheads) in the horizontal OCT (l) with irregular ellipsoid zone band in this area. i: Postoperative IR images at 3 months and 6 months (j) showing bright spots (arrowheads) corresponding to the hyperreflective subretinal deposits (arrowheads) in the horizontal OCT images (m and n). k: Postoperative IR image at 12 months showing persistent bright spots (arrowheads). Vision has improved to 20/25. o: Postoperative horizontal OCT image at 12 months showing reduced hyperreflective subretinal deposits (arrowheads) with improvement of ellipsoid zone band in this area
