Résumé
To report a case of spontaneous closure of simultaneous full-thickness macular hole. Case report and literature review. A 67-year-old woman with small-diameter simultaneous macular holes was observed for a period of 5 months, and progression was documented with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Closure of right full-thickness macular hole was evidenced by 1 month and left full-thickness macular hole by 5 months. This case demonstrates possible spontaneous resolution of a condition that is usually treated surgically. A period of observation with serial imaging studies may be advised in cases of small macular holes.
