RESUMO
PURPOSE: To describe the cases of spontaneous closure of idiopathic macular hole. MATERIAL AND METHOD: OCT findings were retrospectively searched for cases of macular hole closure. Based on the corresponding documentation it was checked, if they were idiopathic macular holes and if the closure was spontaneous. RESULTS: The authors present two cases of macular hole closures in phase IB, in one of which the closed hole reopened again in full thickness after 15 months. In further two cases of the phase II, one hole closed after posterior vitreous detachment after cataract surgery and once quite spontaneously. CONCLUSION: Four cases of spontaneous closure of idiopathic macular hole were documented by three ophthalmology departments during the period of nearly four years. Based on this result we suppose that this process is not as rare, as stated in the literature.
