| الوصف: | Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a case series of full-thickness macular holes without vitreomacular traction that resolved without surgery. Methods: This study is a retrospective case series of 11 patients who demonstrated closure of full-thickness macular holes without surgical intervention. Results: All full-thickness macular holes closed, with all patients having improvement in visual acuity. All but one of the cases had visual acuity better than 20/40 at last recorded visit. Most cases presented with associated epiretinal membrane (73%), cystoid changes (64%), defects <150 μ m (80%), and resolved within 2 months (91%). Topical anti-inflammatory drops were used in 7 of 11 cases, and dorzolamide was used in one case. Conclusion: Full-thickness macular holes can develop in eyes without the presence of vitreomacular traction. Topical therapy without vitrectomy may be particularly helpful in closure of full-thickness macular holes with associated cystoid macular edema. Holes with a lamellar hole component may spontaneously resolve as part of a retinal remodeling process. |
