Abstract Introduction Traumatic macular holes (TMH) are well-known complications of ocular contusion injury.Spontaneous closure occurs in approximately 50% of cases, but rarely after the age of thirty.We report a case of spontaneous closure of a full thickness macular hole due to a blunt trauma and we suggest possible mechanisms for this closure.Case presentation A 50-year-old Greek woman was referred with a history of reduced best-corrected visual Deconstructing Hate Speech in the DRC: A Psychological Media Sensitization Campaign acuity after blunt trauma to her right eye.

Diagnosis was based on fundoscopic, optical coherence tomography as well as fluorescein angiography findings with follow-up visits at two days, 20 days and five months.Fundoscopy revealed a full-thickness TMH with a minor sub-retinal hemorrhage and posterior vitreous detachment.The presence of a coagulum in the TMH base Transpiration and water potential of young Quercus petraea (M.) Liebl. coppice sprouts and seedlings during favourable and drought conditions was observed.Subsequently, TMH closure was observed.

Conclusion The clot in the TMH base, potentially a hemorrhage by-product containing a significant quantity of platelets, may have simulated the clot observed after autologous serum use, thus facilitating a similar effect.This may have stimulated glial cell migration and proliferation, thus contributing to spontaneous hole closure.
