Spontaneous Closure of a Full-Thickness Stage 2 Idiopathic Macular Hole without Posterior Vitreous Detachment
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE We report a 50-year-old female patient with a stage 2 idiopathic macular hole that closed spontaneously. METHOD The case is presented on the basis of an observational case report. RESULTS The stage 2 idiopathic macular hole closed spontaneously in 6 weeks with a lamellar defect in the outer retina due to the formation of the bridging retinal tissue, but without any evidence of the common mechanisms of spontaneous closure such as posterior vitreous detachment or epiretinal membrane formation.

متن کامل[Non-surgical treatment of vitreomacular traction and macular hole].
Macular hole (MA) is a significant cause of visual acuity (VA) loss in patients over 50 years in our environment. The traction by the vitreous, particularly the posterior hyaloids, on the retina surface plays a leading role in the etiopathogeny of MA. The collagen fibers that comprise the posterior vitreous are firmly joined to the macula and connecting to the internal limiting membrane by mean...
متن کاملSpontaneous closure of stage IV idiopathic full-thickness macular hole and late reopening as a lamellar macular hole: a case report
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous closure of traumatic macular holes is described as a common event in the peer-reviewed literature. However, the spontaneous closure of stage III and IV full-thickness idiopathic macular holes has been reported in less than 15 cases in the literature, this being an extremely rare event, with their reopening being even more infrequent. We report a case of a spontaneous cl...
متن کاملReappraisal of Spontaneous Closure Rate of Idiopathic Full-Thickness Macular Holes
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 142 eyes of 138 patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole. Spontaneous closure of idiopathic full-thickness macular hole was observed in five eyes (3.5%) of four patients before the planned vitrectomy. In the era when surgical treatment was not available for macular hole, the rate of spontaneous closure of idiopathic full-thickness macular h...
