SPONTANEOUS CLOSURE OF MYOPIC MACULAR HOLE TWICE WITHOUT POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2023 September 2
PURPOSE: To present a case of a myopic macular hole that spontaneously closed twice in the presence of a broadly adherent posterior hyaloid membrane.
METHODS: Case report.
RESULTS: A 49-year-old man with high myopia and pseudophakia had a full-thickness macular hole in the left eye. The hole spontaneously closed in all retinal layers before the elective surgery, but the macular hole recurred one month later. The hole started sealing again spontaneously after one month, leaving a defect in the outer retinal layers. Four months later, the outer layer defect sealed and a lamellar macular hole developed. Throughout the course, the posterior hyaloid membrane remained parallel to the macular surface. The macular morphology and the patient's vision remained stationary at the 2-year follow-up.
CONCLUSION: This case demonstrated that myopic macular holes can form and seal repeatedly with a broadly adherent posterior hyaloid membrane. Although bridging phenomenon was the common sign indicating the initiation of the two hole closures, different patterns of tissue regeneration ensued.
