“…For example, Bonnin and colleagues have reported three cases of spontaneous closure of MH that was secondary to posterior uveitis. Spontaneous MH closure has also been reported in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa . In our current case, MH closure occurred without any treatment at six months after the first visit, after which the MH reopened; however, two months after using a topical betamethasone treatment, the reopened MH subsequently closed (Figure ).…”

“…[ 11 ] Detection of these abnormalities is crucial because they can significantly reduce the central visual function in patients with RP whose peripheral visual function is already compromised by RP. The possibility of spontaneous resolution of an FTMH was once described in the literature,[ 11 ] but generally therapeutic approach based on vitrectomy is necessary. That is why PPV and gas tamponade with done in this case with closure of the hole.…”

A 44-year-old Saudi female presented with poor right eye vision for 3 years. Visual acuity (VA) was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Examination and imaging showed all the typical features of retinitis pigmentosa in the right eye associated with full thickness macular hole (FTMH) and an essentially normal left eye. The case underwent pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade that resulted in anatomical closure of the FTMH, but VA remained the same.

“…The exact prevalence of these alterations is unknown, but we can say that the presence of a MH in patients affected by RP varies from 0.4% [5] to 10% [1]. The possibility of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness MH in a patient with RP was once described in the literature [6] but, generally, a therapeutic approach based on vitrectomy is necessary [1,7]. …”

IntroductionSeveral macular complications related to abnormalities of the vitreoretinal interface have been classically attributed to retinitis pigmentosa of which cystoid macular edema is the most common. Other less frequent complications are as follows: epiretinal membranes, vitreomacular traction syndrome and macular holes.Case presentationA 64-year-old woman, with the previous diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa, was referred to our department with a complaint of central visual loss in her left eye for 12 months. A fundoscopy and optical coherence tomography examination revealed the presence of a macular hole more than 500 microns in diameter. The patient underwent 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy. Closure of the hole was observed after surgery, but reopening occurred at 2 years postoperatively.ConclusionThe pathogenesis of macular hole formation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa is unclear. Surgical outcomes may not always be favorable, and the possibility of reopening must be taken into account, even after a long time.
