Main text: A 75-year-old female with a diagnosis of large (basal diameter 1,685 μm) Stage 3 macular hole [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b and coexisting epiretinal membrane (BCVA 6/60) underwent uneventful and atraumatic 25 G vitrectomy along with brilliant blue-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling. Postoperative evaluation after 1 month revealed a secondary paracentral retinal hole formation [Figure 1]c and [Figure 1]d along with reduction in the size of the macular hole (BCVA 6/36). Pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling is the standard technique for the management of large macular holes.[1] Surgeons performing macular hole should be aware of this relatively rare complication[2],[3],[4] while performing the procedure. Secondary holes closer to the fovea may require resurgery with gas tamponade.[5]
