Abstract :
Secondary macular holes (MH) are associated with
trauma, rhegmatogenous or tractional retinal detachment,
Nd:YAG laser injury, and other retinal pathologies that
result in tangential forces on the posterior pole.[1,2] When
larger than 1,500 μm, it might be referred to as a giant
MH, which is rare and more often attributed to blunt
rather than open globe trauma because of its mechanism
as sudden equatorial expansion.
