Abstract EN

Macular hole can undergo spontaneous reopening and reclosure.

This is a retrospective review of three patients who had spontaneous reopening and reclosure of previously spontaneously closed macular hole documented by optical coherence tomography.

We report the first case of nivolumab-uveitis-associated macular hole formation.

The authors hypothesize that cystoid macular edema (CME) might alter the integrity of foveal tissues or conversely the orientation of the macular hole edges and play a role in formation and resolution of a macular hole.
