Spontaneous closure of pediatric traumatic macular hole: case report and spectral-domain OCT follow-up

Purpose: We report a case of recurrent macular hole (MH) formation and spontaneous closure in the absence of any vitreoretinal interface abnormality. Methods: A 49-year-old man presented for his annual ocular examination with no specific ocular complaints. He had a history of retinal detachment in the left eye, which was treated years prior with vitrectomy and scleral buckle. During a routine follow-up, the patient was discovered to have a full-thickness MH. Optical coherence tomography revealed the formation of an MH with spontaneous closure after 3 months without intervention. One month later, the MH recurred but once again closed spontaneously over 4 months. Results: The patient remained asymptomatic during the entire follow-up without any symptoms, vision changes, or therapeutic intervention. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first known case report of recurrent spontaneous opening and closure of an MH in the absence of any vitreoretinal interface abnormality, as revealed by macular optical coherence tomography imaging.

Dural arteriovenous malformation (DAVM) is relatively rare and defined as abnormal connections or shunts between the arterial and the venous side of vascular tree located within the dura mater. Spontaneous closures of DAVM are rare and have been scarcely reported. This case report will describe the neuroimaging findings and classification of DAVM. A 50 year old lady presented with headache. Neuroimaging showed prominent serpinginous flow-void structures, cerebral angiogram confirmed the presence of DAVM at the occipital region. She had defaulted treatment and follow up for 3 years. On second admission, she had a cerebral angiogram which showed normal findings with no evidence of fistulas or malformation. She was discharged well. Causes of spontaneous closure of DAVM are discussed.

Purpose: Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) was used to evaluate retinal and vitreo-retinal changes that occur in highly myopic patients. Methods: This prospective study included 472 eyes of 472 patients suffering from high myopia (> -6.00 D), between May 2012 and December 2015. All patients were examined, using Cirrus HD OCT (Zeiss Cirrus TM HD-OCT model 4000), to detect any retinal or vitreo-retinal interface abnormalities. All obtained data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 17 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) and the paired two-sided t-test. Bivariate correlations were performed between different parameters using the Spearman correlation coefficient (r). Results: Mean spherical equivalent (MSE) was -13.11± 4.35D. Mean axial length (AL) was 28.5±1.62 mm. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was the most frequent OCT finding; representing 33.4% of the cases, 13.7% of them were associated with macular traction. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between AL and MTM, full thickness macular hole, PVD with traction, and dome shaped macula (r = 0.49 and P = 0.001, r = 0.422 and P = 0.0001, r = 0.25 and P = 0.03, r=0.475, P=0.001 respectively) Conclusion: OCT is a valuable tool in detecting retinal and vitreo-retinal interface abnormalities in highly myopic eyes, and it can be used for follow up of those patients to avoid advanced retinal damage.

In this paper, we report an extremely rare case of spontaneous closure of a macular hole (MH) that developed in a patient in whom acquired vitelliform lesion (AVL) occurred after vitrectomy for atopic retinal detachment (ARD). A 32-year-old male developed ARD in both eyes, and retinal reattachment was achieved after vitrectomy. Five years after surgery, optical coherence tomography showed localized serous retinal detachment (SRD) and a granular lesion with a higher brightness in the subretinal fluid, thus leading to the diagnosis of AVL. One month later, an MH developed, and a follow-up examination performed 6 weeks later revealed that the MH had spontaneously closed and the SRD decreased. In the fovea, fluorescein angiography revealed a window defect due to atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). These findings in this present case suggest the possibility that RPE dysfunction was involved in the development of AVL and MH.

The exact pathogenesis of macular hole (MH) is controversial with most of the cases being idiopathic. Trauma is an important cause of secondary MH formation. MH post Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) is an even rare entity with only a handful of cases reported so far ( Kumagai et al, 2008; Smiddy W.E, 1993; Kimura et al, 2005). An even rarer event is spontaneous closure of post PPV full thickness macular hole (FTMH), though spontaneous closure of traumatic macular hole (TMH) has been reported before. Herein, we report a 26 year old male patient who developed FTMH post PPV that closed spontaneously.
