Fundus photographs and spectral domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) images of a 66-year-old man with metamorphopsia caused by an epiretinal membrane (ERM). A macular pseudohole was also present. (A) An SD-OCT image showing an ERM which is seen as a hyperreflective layer (white arrows) on the retina. A macular pseudohole (asterisk) can also be seen in the SD-OCT image. These images were taken at the referral hospital 3 months before the initial examination in our hospital. (B) Fundus photograph taken at the initial examination in our hospital showing an ERM with a round hole centered on the fovea giving the appearance of a macular pseudohole. (C) SD-OCT image shows the macular pseudohole (asterisk) and retinal folds with a contraction of the ERM in the macular area and a partially separation of the ERM from the sensory retina in the inferior area at the initial examination (white arrows). (D) Fundus photograph taken 2 months later. The ERM and the macular pseudohole are absent and the fundus has an almost normal appearance. (E) SD-OCT image shows no ERM and almost normal appearance of the retina without remaining undulations 2 months after the initial visit (white arrows).
