“…10 There have been fewer cases of spontaneous closure observed in vitrectomized eyes, with the original reason for vitrectomy including MH, vitreous hemorrhage, central retinal vein occlusion, and macula-involving RRD. 6,7,11,12 Once again, in none of the previous reports did the FTMH re-open as fast as in our patient.…”

“…The majority of these cases undergo repair with scleral buckle or pneumatic retinopexy and are thus not vitrectomized. 1–7 In the rare cases of MH formation after pars plana vitrectomy for RRD repair, the majority of patients had macula-involving RRDs. In contrast, our patient had a macula-sparing RRD.…”

“…In previously detached macula, the retinal tissue is already compromised by hypoxia and a deficiency of nutrients provided by the retinal pigment epithelium. 7 Remodeling of the inner retinal surface after induction of a PVD appears to be a dynamic process not necessarily leading unidirectionally towards MH closure. 8 …”

“…1,2 The majority have occurred after macula-involving RRD repair with scleral buckling or pneumatic retinopexy, although there are isolated cases occurring after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). 1–7 Only one case of FTMH after PPV for macula-sparing RRD has been previously described with FTMH developing 18 months after the initial surgery. 5 In the literature there is also only one case of FTMH undergoing spontaneous closure and re-opening in a vitrectomized eye.…”

Purpose To report a single case of macular hole opening, spontaneous closure, and reopening in the three month period after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment Methods Case report Patient A 59-year-old man with a macula-sparing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade Results The patient developed a full-thickness macular hole two months post-operatively. The hole was noted to spontaneously close three months post-operatively, but then reopened four months post-operatively and required repeat pars plana vitrectomy and inner limiting membrane peel for definitive closure. The rapidity with which the macular hole developed after pars plana vitrectomy for macula-sparing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and its dynamic behavior have not been previously reported. Conclusions Full-thickness macular holes may rarely develop rapidly, spontaneous close, and reopen after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, even in macula-sparing cases.

Spontaneous resolution of macular hole-associated retinal detachment in a previously vitrectomized eye has not been reported previously. Changes in tangential traction by the associated epiretinal membrane, improvement of the cystoid changes noted at the edge of the macular hole, and/or proliferation of glial tissue to bridge the hole, along with the absorption of the subretinal fluid by the retinal pigment epithelium pump contributed to this rare event have been hyphothesized.
