Purpose: To report a case of treatment of a full-thickness macular hole, which appeared after 10 months of anti-VEGF treatment in neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Methods: The patient was diagnosed as type 1 nAMD. The coexisting vitreomacular traction caused a full thickness macular hole after 10 months of treatment.
Patients: A 68-year-old woman treated with anti VEGF.
Results: Vitrectomy with the temporal inverted ILM flap technique succeeded in closing the hole. Further anti-VEGF treatment followed.
Conclusion: FTMH is a rare complication or coexistence in nAMD. Vitrectomy and continuous anti-VEGF treatment might result in satisfactory anatomical and functional results.
