Purpose: To report a case of spontaneous closure of simultaneous full-thickness macular hole.Methods: Case report and literature review.Results: A 67-year-old woman with small-diameter simultaneous macular holes was observed for a period of 5 months, and progression was documented with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Closure of right full-thickness macular hole was evidenced by 1 month and left full-thickness macular hole by 5 months.
Conclusion:This case demonstrates possible spontaneous resolution of a condition that is usually treated surgically. A period of observation with serial imaging studies may be advised in cases of small macular holes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
