“…There have been many cases of traumatic macular holes with spontaneous closure reported previously in the literature. [234] Arevalo et al . [5] investigated the OCT characteristics of full-thickness traumatic macular holes, and they concluded that OCT complements biomicroscopy in the evaluation of full-thickness macular holes.…”

A case of horseshoe-shaped macular tear after blunt trauma with the course of the tear and the relevant findings obtained by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is described. A 21-year-old man who had suffered blunt trauma 5 days previously visited our clinic complaining of vision loss in his left eye. Ophthalmic examination and SD-OCT images revealed a horseshoe-shaped macular tear. A month later at the second visit, the macular tear was found to have spontaneously closed. There have been many cases reported previously of the spontaneous closure of traumatic macular holes. A horseshoe-shaped macular tear is an atypical clinical presentation. However, the mechanism of spontaneous closure is hypothetically as same as that for a macular hole. High-resolution images and three-dimensional maps taken with SD-OCT can provide more details on macular diseases and are more useful than time-domain OCT images.

“…22,23 Yanagiya and coworkers observed that most of the traumatic macular hole cases in their series were elliptical and not round. This is why they theorized that the force applied to the front of the eye is transmitted posteriorly and can cause rupture to the fovea.…”

“…Patients with traumatic MH probably should be observed for 4–6 months rather than surgically repaired, which was advocated because of the possibility of spontaneous closure [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Vitrectomy surgery appears to be a highly successful surgical procedure to close MH and improve vision in eyes with traumatic MH [4, 10].…”

Vitrectomy and Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling of a Traumatic Macular Hole with Retinal Folds

An 8-year-old active boy suffered a penetrating injury to his right eye. A temporal retinal perforation with an adherent blood clot about 4-disc diameter from the fovea was noted. Six weeks after the initial primary repair, a macular hole (MH) and retinal folds radiating from the penetrating site of the retina were found. Two months after the injury, the patient underwent a standard pars plana vitrectomy. Intraoperatively, the retinal folds still existed after creating a posterior hyaloid detachment and disappeared concurrently within the area of the internal limiting membrane peeling. Occlusion therapy was carried out after absorption of the intraocular gas. One year after the vitrectomy surgery, the MH remained closed with a visual acuity improving from 20/60 to 20/25 in his right eye. Our results suggest that vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and sequential occlusion therapy can achieve both anatomical and functional improvement in a child suffering a penetrating injury with a MH and retinal folds.
