Foveal hernia (FH) can be detected by optic coherence tomography. FH refers to the prolapse of the innermost retinal layers into the vitreal cavity. It occurs in patients with an epiretinal membrane that does not cover the central foveal area. This present case exposes the sudden development of contractility in an idiopathic epiretinal membrane after years of stable follow-up, with no signs of progression. Additionally, this case report also shows the rapid recovery of the retinal structure after removal of the membrane. In surgical imaging with membrane staining and during its extraction, the eyelet (or slot/opening) on the foveal surface is clearly visible. = La hernia foveal (HF) es un hallazgo en la tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT). Corresponde al prolapso de las capas más internas de la retina hacia la cavidad vítrea. Aparecen casos de membrana epirretiniana (MER) que no tapiza el área foveal central. En el presente caso se pone de manifiesto el brusco desarrollo de la capacidad contráctil de una MER idiopática tras años de seguimiento en los que se mostró estable, así como la rápida recuperación de la estructura de la retina tras la extracción de la membrana. En las imágenes quirúrgicas con tinción de la membrana y durante su extracción se pone en evidencia el ojal presente sobre el área foveal.
