Full Text



A 39-year-old male with a one-day history of sudden diminution of vision in the right eye was diagnosed with a macular hole and central retinal artery occlusion [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]c. Three weeks later he presented with an irregular macular hole and combined vascular occlusion [Figure 1]b and [Figure 1]d. Unlike retinal vein occlusion, a macular hole is rarely reported in association with retinal artery occlusion or combined retinal vascular occlusion.[1],[2],[3] Shaggy margins, inner retinal edema with an intact posterior hyaloid are supportive of ischemic rather than a tractional theory of macular hole in our case.{Figure 1}
