A pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling around the macular hole, fluid-air exchange, endolaser retinopexy around the peripheral retinal break and perfluoropropane (C3F8) internal tamponade were performed to repair the detached retina and macular hole. One month postoperatively, the patient developed a large peripheral circumferential retinal tear with shallow retinal detachment which necessitated scleral buckling, repeat vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation and C3F8 tamponade. The retina was successfully re-attached and the macula hole was closed. Three years post-vitrectomy, the repaired 30-year-old macular hole remained closed although the visual acuity remained unchanged at 6\/45. In summary, we describe the successful anatomical closure of a 30-year-old idiopathic full-thickness macular hole which we believe to be the longest duration photographically documented macular hole closed following surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]],"date-time":"2024-04-17T03:17:05Z","timestamp":1713323825000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Successful
