“…In our patient, the closure of hole was within four weeks period with subsequent improvement in BCVA. Our findings are also in accordance with two single-patient reports published in the literature by Lo and Hubbard (2006) and Shukla et al (2006). Lo and Hubbard (2006) reported a case who developed MH post PPV for vitreous haemorrhage (VH) after 7 years, the hole closed spontaneously to again recur after a year.…”

The exact pathogenesis of macular hole (MH) is controversial with most of the cases being idiopathic. Trauma is an important cause of secondary MH formation. MH post Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) is an even rare entity with only a handful of cases reported so far ( Kumagai et al, 2008; Smiddy W.E, 1993; Kimura et al, 2005). An even rarer event is spontaneous closure of post PPV full thickness macular hole (FTMH), though spontaneous closure of traumatic macular hole (TMH) has been reported before. Herein, we report a 26 year old male patient who developed FTMH post PPV that closed spontaneously.

The spontaneous closure of a full-thickness macular hole (MH) developed after vitrectomy is very uncommon. We report a small series of cases (two patients) with this presentation. The first patient developed a MH 1 month after vitrectomy for an epirrretinal membrane and, the second one, 3 weeks after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The MHs resolved spontaneously 2 months and 1 month after their documentation by optical coherence tomography(OCT), respectively. In this case report, we review the literature on spontaneous closure of MHs and discuss possible mechanisms for this rare event.Keywords: Retinal perforations, Vitrectomy/methods, Optical coherence tomography, Epiretinal membrane, Retinal detachment, Case reports RESUMO O fechamento espontâneo de buraco de mácula de espessura total é um fenômeno raro, especialmente em olhos vitrectomizados. Descrevemos nesse relato dois casos com essa apresentação. No primeiro caso, notou-se o buraco de mácula 1 mês após vitrectomia por membrana epirretiniana e, no segundo, 3 semanas após vitrectomia por descolamento de retina regmatogênico. O fechamento desses buracos ocorreu espontaneamente 2 meses e 1 mês após sua documentação, respectivamente. Feita a revisão bibliográfica e propostas teorias para explicar esta evolução atípica, o entendimento deste fenômeno pôde nos ajudar a refinar a indicação cirúrgi-ca desta patologia.Descritores: Perfurações retinianas, Vitrectomia/métodos, Tomografia de coerência óptica, Membrana epirretiniana, Descolamento retiniano, Relatos de casos CASE REPORTRev Bras Oftalmol. 2014; 73 (6): 389-91
