Purpose:
To report a case of spontaneous resolution of traumatic macular hole-related retinal detachment.
Design:
Observational case report.
Methods:
Clinical examination and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) evaluation of a patient who experienced spontaneous resolution of a retinal detachment resulting from a traumatic macular hole.
Results:
A 12-year-old boy developed a macular hole and retinal detachment after blunt ocular trauma. Spontaneous reattachment of the retina and closure of the macular hole were documented at clinical examination and by OCT three weeks after presentation.
Conclusions:
Spontaneous closure of traumatic macular hole and resolution of associated retinal detachment can occur.
