Full-Thickness Macular Hole in a Pediatric Patient With Normal Vision

A 17-year-old boy presented with a full-thickness macular hole, with 20/20 vision with eccentric fixation in the left eye. Examination of the left eye showed a large macular hole with a base diameter measuring 1,680 μm and temporal macular and mid-peripheral retinal atrophy on ultra-high-definition optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. Microperimetry showed eccentric fixation with good nasal sensitivity. A 12 x 12-mm extended-field swept-source OCT angiogram showed flow loss in the temporal macula, with slight reduction noted in the choriocapillaris. Given excellent visual acuity, good tolerance by the patient, and large atrophic hole, the decision was made for observation rather than surgery. <b>[<i>Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina</i> 2024;55:607-612.]</b>.
