Abstract

Macular hole formation is a well-known complication following ocular trauma. Less commonly recognised is the spontaneous closure of such holes.A 27-year-old man presented with a history of blunt trauma to his left eye. Eye evaluation showed conjunctival laceration, diffuse retinal oedema and multiple retinal haemorrhages in that eye. A month later, he developed a full thickness macular hole. Two months later, there was spontaneous complete closure of the full-thickness macular hole in the left eye as confirmed on optical coherence tomography.Spontaneous closure of hole is not uncommon. Observation for a period of up to 12months is a reasonable management option. Macular hole surgery for traumatic macular holes may be delayed in such cases.
