It is believed to be caused by vitreoretinal mechanical forces and is described as a traumatic macular hole if trauma causes these forces. Case Report: We describe a case of a traumatic macular hole in a 12-year-old boy after blunt trauma with a football in the right eye. The patient was followed up regularly with serial OCT, showing closure of the macular hole without intervention. Conclusion: Observation of a paediatric traumatic macular hole is a viable initial treatment option. Serial OCT imaging was useful in observing the natural history and mechanism behind spontaneous closure in this case. %K Eye Injuries %K Traumatic Macular Hole %K Optical Coherence Tomography %K Case Report %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=142522
