چکیده

CASE REPORT A fifty-five year old patient with visual loss in the left eye was diagnosed to have a complete idiopathic macular hole. After a three-week observational period, spontaneous resolution of the macular hole was observed with vision recovery, all of this clearly demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). DISCUSSION Spontaneous resolution of the idiopathic macular hole is infrequent (3-6%). OCT follow-up enabled monitoring of the closure mechanisms. Complex surgery was avoided by a short observational period.

Spontaneous closure of pediatric traumatic macular hole: case report and spectral-domain OCT follow-up.

Spontaneous closure of a traumatic macular hole (TMH) is an unusual outcome. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and clinical follow-up enabled monitoring of this resolution during a period of a few weeks. We describe a case of spontaneous closure of a TMH with complete visual recovery in a 15 year-old boy and show the follow-up of the macular hole obtained using the Spectral Domain OCT.

Reappraisal of Spontaneous Closure Rate of Idiopathic Full-Thickness Macular Holes

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 142 eyes of 138 patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole. Spontaneous closure of idiopathic full-thickness macular hole was observed in five eyes (3.5%) of four patients before the planned vitrectomy. In the era when surgical treatment was not available for macular hole, the rate of spontaneous closure of idiopathic full-thickness macular h...
