Purpose. The purpose of this report is to present a case who had spontaneous macular hole closure after Nd:YAG laser membranotomy applied to premacular haemorrhage associated with Valsalva retinopathy. Methods. Case report. Results. A 19-year-old young male patient presented to our clinic with sudden vision loss in his right eye, which had occurred 2 weeks before, following push-up and sit-up exercise. The patient was found to have premacular haemorrhage associated with Valsalva retinopathy. Nd:YAG laser membranotomy was performed. During his follow-up at week 1, full-thickness MH was observed and he was put under observation. At month 6, his vision acuity improved, laser coagulation sites in the fundus disappeared, and macular hole closed spontaneously. Conclusion. Macular hole that develops after Nd:YAG laser treatment of Valsalva retinopathy may spontaneously be closed like in our case. However, there is a need for further research to understand the mechanism of closure.

Abstract Purpose: To report a pregnant patient with impaired vision due to macular involvement of valsalva retinopathy associated with subhyaloid hemorrhage, who was effectively treated with Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy and led to successful visual recovery.Case presentation: A thirty-year-old pregnant woman at 36-week gestational age was referred due to suddenly decreased visual acuity in her left eye following a severe vomiting. Left eye examination showed a dense large subhyaloid hemorrhage in front of macula extending from superior to inferior arcade with a clear media. With the diagnosis of subhyaloid hemorrhage she underwent Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy and visual acuity improved from hand motion to 20/20 after one week.Conclusion: In this report, Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy was shown to be effective and safe in treatment of dense subhyaloid hemorrhage in pregnant patients with Valsalva retinopathy.

Hole Closure

Herein, we report the longitudinal observation of a case with reopening of the macular hole associated with a lamellar macular hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) followed by spontaneous closure in patients with stage 2 idiopathic macular hole. A 64-year-old woman was referred for the decreased visual acuity (VA) and acute anorthopia in the right eye. Funduscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed stage 2 full-thickness macular hole without posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and operculum formation. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/32. One month later, the diameter of the macular hole was getting small and VA improved. Six months later, the macular hole was treated spontaneously with the attached hyaloid membrane to the macula by OCT and the BCVA improved to 20/20. Fourteen months after the first visit, the BCVA decreased to 20/50 and the patient was diagnosed with stage 4 macular hole with complete PVD. OCT showed full-thickness macular hole with a LHEP in the right eye. After 25G-gauge vitrectomy with the peeling of internal limiting membrane (ILM) and LHEP, the macular hole was closed and BCVA finally improved to 20/25. Spontaneous macular hole closure without PVD may rarely occur in patients with LHEP. The surgical removal of ILM and LHEP may contribute to the successful macular hole closure after vitrectomy.
