Abstract
GARCIA-POUS, M. et al. Spontaneous resolution of idiopathic macular hole type IV: optical coherence tomography follow-up. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.4, pp.229-232. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: A fifty-five year old patient with visual loss in the left eye was diagnosed to have a complete idiopathic macular hole. After a three-week observational period, spontaneous resolution of the macular hole was observed with vision recovery, all of this clearly demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Discussion: Spontaneous resolution of the idiopathic macular hole is infrequent (3-6%). OCT follow-up enabled monitoring of the closure mechanisms. Complex surgery was avoided by a short observational period.
Keywords : Idiopathic macular hole; OCT; spontaneous resolution.
