Abstract
Chorioretinal folds have been reported as a result of many intraocular and extraocular inflammatory processes or tumors. Visual loss is usually secondary to a combination of the underlying process and chorioretinal folds involving the macula. We report a patient who developed decreased vision, metamorphopsia, chorioretinal folds, and a lamellar macular hole secondary to global compression by a bone fragment. The chorioretinal folds regressed and his vision stabilized following surgical decompression. Chorioretinal folds and lamellar macular hold formation are previously unrecognized complications of reconstructive craniofacial surgery.
