title: Spontaneous closure of a stage III idiopathic macular hole.
abstract: METHODS
  We report spontaneous closure of an idiopathic 200 microm stage III macular hole, confirmed by optical coherence tomography, in a 76-year-old woman.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Spontaneous closure is rare and not well understood. Possible mechanisms are discussed. Delay of surgery is not recommended.
