Purpose:
To report a case of spontaneous closure of simultaneous full-thickness macular hole.
Methods:
Case report and literature review.
Results:
A 67-year-old woman with small-diameter simultaneous macular holes was observed for a period of 5 months, and progression was documented with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Closure of right full-thickness macular hole was evidenced by 1 month and left full-thickness macular hole by 5 months.
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates possible spontaneous resolution of a condition that is usually treated surgically. A period of observation with serial imaging studies may be advised in cases of small macular holes.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
