Macular fold is one of the rare complications following a retinal detachment surgery whereby the final visual outcome gets severely compromised despite an attached retina. A 53 years old male patient with retinal detachment in his left eye associated with a giant retinal tear. He was initially managed with vitrectomy, post operative examination at one month showed a macular fold centered at the fovea. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 4/60. The case was then managed by surgically inducing a re-detachment of the retina , unfolding the macular fold with the assistance of perfluorocarbon liquid tamponaded with silicone oil.The patient has been on a regular follow with BCVA maintained at 6/12 in the operated eye post SOR. Macular folds are a serious but underreported complication of RD surgery and very few cases of successful surgical management have been reported till date. We intend to present a fine surgical demonstration of its successful management through our video.
