Spontaneous closure of traumatic macular holes.

OBJECTIVE To present a series of cases with spontaneous closure of traumatic macular hole. DESIGN Case series. PARTICIPANTS Six eyes of 6 patients with traumatic macular hole. METHODS The characteristics of eyes with macular hole secondary to blunt trauma in which the macular hole closed spontaneously without surgical manipulation were reviewed. RESULTS Patient age range was 13 to 55 years. There were 4 full-thickness and 2 lamellar macular holes. Spontaneous closure occurred after 1 to 6 months of observation. Best corrected visual acuity improved in 5 eyes and remained unchanged in the other eye. CONCLUSIONS Spontaneous closure of traumatic macular holes may occur within 6 months after initial presentation.
