Abstract
BOSCH-VALERO, J. et al. Spontaneous closure of full thickness traumatic macular holes. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2008, vol.83, n.5, pp.325-327. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We present case reports of two young patients suffering from full thickness traumatic macular holes resulting in visual impairment of more than 60%. Both showed anatomical and visual improvement whilst waiting for surgical treatment. Discussion: Spontaneous closure of a traumatic macular hole is an unusual outcome. OCT and clinical follow up enabled monitoring of this resolution during a period of a few weeks. Complex surgery was thus avoided by a short observational period.
