White Macula After Pars Plana Vitrectomy in a 71-Year-Old Woman

Wu et al discuss the case study of a 71-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin lymphoma receiving maintenance obinutuzumab infusions who underwent uneventful pars plana vitrectomy of the right eye for vitreomacular traction. Diluted triamcinolone acetonide (TA) was used to stain the posterior hyaloid. After removal of 25-gauge trocar cannulas, subconjunctival TA and ceftazidime was injected. Owing to cystoid changes in the central macula, a short-acting gas tamponade with sulfur hexafluoride was used to tamponade any cystoid abnormalities that may have been unroofed.
