Abstract
To report a case of stage IV macular hole associated with ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm. Observational case report. The patient's clinical, angiographic, and ophthalmic coherent tomography data were reviewed. A stage IV macular hole was observed in association with a ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm in a 79-year-old patient. After vitrectomy surgery, the macular hole closed and vision improved from counting fingers to 20/100. Macular hole associated with ruptured retinal macroaneurysm can be closed successfully to result in improved vision.
