Abstract
To describe a case of a patient with macular hole with subretinal indocyanine green (ICG) during vitrectomy. Interventional case report. A 66-year-old woman with macular hole underwent a vitrectomy with ICG. After application of ICG into the vitreous, ICG was introduced in the subretinal space. Indocyanine green was found to be present for more than 6 months. Retinal pigment epithelium atrophy appeared at the site of the lesion. Although ICG may be a useful tool for distinguishing the internal limiting membrane and other tissues careful application is required to prevent side effects.
