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.
