摘要：

PURPOSE: To report a macular hole secondary to an idiopathic epiretinal membrane in a 14-year-old girl. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A 3-year-old girl who failed a public visual-screening test was examined. Since then, she had been followed-up for her epiretinal membrane, which began to peel spontaneously in the left eye for 11 years until a macular hole was observed. She was treated by vitrectomy and membranectomy, and the membrane was histologically examined. RESULT: The macular hole was successfully closed, and her visual acuity improved. The membrane appeared to have a homogenous structure and contained no cells. CONCLUSIONS: The juvenile idiopathic epiretinal membrane sometimes peels spontaneously. However, long-term follow,up is needed because vitreous traction of the membrane by intraocular aging change may result in a macular hole.
