Spontaneous resolution of full-thickness macular hole in retinitis pigmentosa.
A 57-year-old woman, diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and positive family history, was referred to the retinal clinic. Full-thickness macular hole was noted in the right eye with no significant vitreomacular interface abnormalities confirmed at baseline visit with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography scan. Routine follow-up showed spontaneous closure of the full-thickness macular hole with four-letter improvement from baseline visit and remains unchanged with 3 years of follow-up.
