N2 - Purpose:To discuss a case of a macular hole formation after vitrectomy for myopic retinoschisis with foveal detachment and spontaneous closure, during long-term follow-up.Methods:Case report.Results:A 71-year-old man with myopic retinoschisis with foveal detachment had a vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling combined with cataract surgery in the left eye. The preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 8/20, and the axial length was 27.11 mm. A macular hole with foveal detachment was observed 1 month after surgery. However, the macular hole closed spontaneously with foveal detachment at 4 months of follow-up. Foveal detachment resolved, and the best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/20 at nine months of follow-up.Conclusion:This case suggests that the macular hole formed after vitrectomy for myopic retinoschisis with foveal detachment with internal limiting membrane peeling can close spontaneously.
