METHODS: Case report of a 70-year-old woman who initially presented with a full-thickness macular hole who developed 3 subsequent recurrences of full-thickness macular hole over a duration of 4 years. Spontaneous closure was noted at the second recurrence. Institutional review board was not applicable for this case. RESULTS: Combination of three recurrences of full-thickness macular hole with successful closure after vitrectomy as well as a single episode of spontaneous closure. CONCLUSION: This is a novel report in an adult patient with three recurrences of full-thickness macular hole in a previously vitrectomized eye along with an episode of spontaneous closure.
