Purpose: To describe a case of effective macular translocation accomplished without scleral imbrication or extensive retinotomy.
Methods: A case report of a 59-year-old woman with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in her left eye who underwent vitrectomy with macular detachment and fluid-air exchange.
Results: The macula was translocated approximately 500 microm inferiorly, allowing for photocoagulation of extrafoveal neovascularization.
Conclusion: Limited macular translocation may be attained without scleral imbrication or significant retinotomy.
