“…8 Since then, additional cases of iatrogenic CNV have been documented in the literature, further establishing CNV as a rare complication of PPV with ERM peeling. 6,[9][10][11] This case report presented an iatrogenic rupture of the RPE beyond the superotemporal fovea, likely caused by manipulation of the inner retina during the ERM peeling procedure. Notably, SD-OCT examination revealed an outward protrusion of the disrupted RPE margins towards the Sattler and Haller layers of the choroid, accompanied by the presence of a hazy-bordered subretinal hyperreflective lesion (SHRM), leading to localized thickening of the retinal layers.…”

Purpose To report a case of pitchfork sign following pars plana vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membrane. Study design Case report. Results A 75-year-old man was referred to the surgical retina service due to a quantitative and qualitative decline in vision in the left eye (LE) for several months. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination revealed the presence of a stage III epiretinal membrane (ERM) according to the Govetto classification. Seven days after undergoing a 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with ERM peeling and balanced salt solution (BSS) tamponade, OCT examination revealed the presence of the ‘pitchfork sign’ in the macular region, along with the detection of a choroidal neovascularization (CNV) through OCT-A examination. After receiving two monthly intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, a complete regression of the MNV was observed. Conclusions We reported, for the first time, the iatrogenic onset of the pitchfork sign following vitreoretinal surgery. This discovery highlights the unique presentation of the pitchfork sign in the context of surgical procedures, expanding our comprehension of its range of causes.
