Abstract

Abstract. Macular hole (MH) is a defect of the neuroretina in the foveal central, which may result in the inadequacy of high acuity vision or in complete vision loss [1]. Traumatic macular hole (TMH) is the second most common cause of MH globally. TMH is defined as the hole in the macular region of the retina caused by the mechanical stress or hitting by an object [2]. Knapp and this team described the very first case of TMH in 1869 [3]. Commonly, the MH can be closed by using internal limiting membrane (ILM) peel with gas or air tamponade [4]; inverted ILM flap technique [5]; or autologous ILM flap6. However, these techniques are not suitable for closing the large MH. The success of Autologous Neurosensory Retina Transplantation (ANRT) by Grewal and Mahmoud (2016) has opened the new ventures for treating complicated MH [7]. In the present case report, we used the technique proposed by Grewal and Mahmoud with some intraoperative variables to treat a traumatic MH [7,8].
