ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report two cases of spontaneous resolution of macular hole stage 1 and 2, that were objectively diagnosed with OCT(optical coherence tomography).METHODS:
Case 1-A 64-year-old woman without systemic disease visited Kong Eye Center complaining of decreasing visual acuity for 1 month. We diagnosed her case as macular hole stage 1, checked her regularly and detected spontaneous resolution of the macular hole after 6 months. We examined her using OCT before and after spontaneous resolution. Case 2-A 66-year-old man without systemic disease visited Kong Eye Center complaining of decreasing visual acuity for several months. We diagnosed his case as macular hole stage 2 and decided to perform an operation 3 weeks later. On admission, we detected spontaneous resolution of the macular hole. We examined him using OCT before and after spontaneous resolution.RESULTS:
We could confirm the spontaneous resolution of stage 1 and 2 macular hole using OCT objectively.CONCLUSIONS:
OCT is a useful tool in the diagnosis of macular hole and in the evaluation of various natural course of macular hole.
