Spontaneous reopening of a spontaneously closed macular hole.

Gregg T Kokame, Matthew B McCauley
American Journal of Ophthalmology 2002 Februrary
PURPOSE: To report a case of spontaneous reopening after spontaneous closure of a full-thickness macular hole.

METHODS: Observational case report. Retrospective clinical practice case review.

RESULTS: A 57-year-old man with a full-thickness macular hole in his left eye developed spontaneous closure for 1.5 years with improved vision, followed by spontaneous reopening of the hole with loss of vision. Surgical repair resulted in repeat closure and recovery of 20/20 visual acuity.

CONCLUSION: Spontaneous reopening, which occasionally occurs after surgical closure of macular holes, can also occur after spontaneous closure of a macular hole.
