Purpose: To report a case of macular hole after surgery in macular serous detachment associated with optic disc pit in a child, which was treated with silicone oil as an intraocular substitute. Case summary: A 12-year-old boy was referred for examination due to visual disturbance in his left eye for the last 1 week. Corrected visual acuity at presentation was 0.08 in the left eye. The anterior part of the left eye was normal on slit lamp examination. Funduscopic examination revealed optic disc pit associated with macular detachment. The patient was treated with vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and gas tamponade. One week after treatment, the patient presented with central visual disturbance and showed a full thickness macular hole in the left eye. Extensive ILM peeling and silicone oil instillation were performed and after 2 months, silicone oil removal was performed. The macular hole appeared to be closed and visual acuity improved to 0.2. Recurrence was not observed until 20 months after treatment. Conclusions: After surgical treatment due to macular detachment associated with optic disc pit in a child, occurrence of a macular hole is possible. Regarding macular hole treatment, silicone oil instillation and fast removal could be a beneficial option.
