Abstract

CASE REPORT: A fifty-five year old patient with visual loss in the left eye was diagnosed to have a complete idiopathic macular hole. After a three-week observational period, spontaneous resolution of the macular hole was observed with vision recovery, all of this clearly demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). DISCUSSION: Spontaneous resolution of the idiopathic macular hole is infrequent (3-6%). OCT follow-up enabled monitoring of the closure mechanisms. Complex surgery was avoided by a short observational period.
