Tóm tắt

Macular holes in children are generally associated with trauma. We report the first case of an idiopathic full thickness macular hole in a 10-year-old girl. 23-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy, induction of a posterior vitreous detachment, ILM blue-assisted internal limiting membrane peel, fluid–air exchange and air-26% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) exchange was performed with subsequent macular hole closure. This is the first reported case of an idiopathic full thickness macular hole in a child. Treatment with pars plana vitrectomy with peeling of the ILM resulted in significant anatomic and functional improvement.
