The authors report a case of a male patient affected by macular hole. In particular, a hyperreflective tissue was found on optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination in macular region, just above the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). OCT angiography (OCTA) did not show the presence of vascular tissue, thus the hyperreflective material was ascribed to primary gliotic tissue. This case highlights the ability for Müller cells placed near macular holes to migrate up to the RPE and to produce gliotic tissue.
