Traumatic macular holes may develop following blunt ocular trauma. It has been hypothesized that blunt force is transmitted to the macula through sudden globe compression resulting in foveal “rupture, " or postcontusion changes, with cystoid degeneration and anteroposterior vitreofoveal traction. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can distinguish various lamellar holes (rupture of either inner and outer retinal layers) from full-thickness macular holes and help identify other associated features, such as the presence of subretinal fluid, intraretinal cystic changes, epiretinal membrane, and outer retinal atrophy.
