Spontaneous closure of large base idiopathic full thickness macular hole
Spontaneous closure of idiopathic full thickness macular hole is a rare case as it occurs in only 3.5% while awaiting vitrectomy surgery. There are few pathologies associated with it such as vitreomacular traction (VMT) and posterior vitreous detachment. We report a case in a 74-year-old man who...

| description | Spontaneous closure of idiopathic full thickness macular hole is a rare case as it
occurs in only 3.5% while awaiting vitrectomy surgery. There are few pathologies
associated with it such as vitreomacular traction (VMT) and posterior vitreous
detachment. We report a case in a 74-year-old man who presented with right
eye painless, progressive blurring of vision with idiopathic stage 4 full thickness
macular hole which was confirmed on optical coherence tomography. It closed
spontaneously after sometimes while waiting for surgery. It is important to monitor
closely for the possibility of spontaneous closure based on the optical coherence
tomography findings. |
