A nontraumatic macular hole in a 10-year-old girl.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Full-thickness macular holes usually develop in the elderly population. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no written report of a nontraumatic macular hole in a pediatric patient. CASE:A 10-year-old girl noticed decreased central vision in her left eye without any history of trauma. OBSERVATIONS:Fundus examination of the left eye revealed a full-thickness macular hole and a thin fibrous membrane on the superior peripapillary retina. She underwent standard macular hole surgery with stripping of the membrane, resulting in closure of the hole. CONCLUSIONS:A full-thickness macular hole may develop in pediatric patients. Although the etiology of the macular hole in the present patient is unclear, tangential traction induced by contraction of the peripapillary membrane, presumed to be an incomplete regression of the Bergmeister papilla, might have been responsible for the formation of the macular hole.
