Abstract
Three years after the initial diagnosis, a 21-year-old healthy man with Bietti's crystalline retinopathy developed unilateral stage 4 macular hole with surrounding macular detachment. The mechanism of macular hole formation, which may or may not be a feature of Bietti's crystalline dystrophy, is not clear.
