Management of Pediatric Traumatic Macular Holes – Case Report
A 10-year-old girl was hit by a soccer ball followed by sudden visual loss in the left eye. At that time the VA was 20/400 in the left eye and 20/20 in the right eye. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundus biomicroscopy revealed a lamellar hole, confirmed by OCT (fig. ), which turned into a full-thickness macular hole identified 8 days after trauma (fig. ). Surgery was performed the following day. One week after surgery, fundus examination revealed closure of the macular hole, and by the end of the first month, the best corrected VA (BCVA) was 20/50. One year later the VA was 20/30, with maintenance of macular hole closure (fig. ).
