Clinical presentation and outcomes of trivial trauma-associated giant macular holes in children with Best vitelliform macular dystrophy

Abstract

We present three cases of children with giant macular holes in relation to trivial trauma. These children had brittle retina secondary to Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) which made them vulnerable to the irreversible complications. None of the three cases had any signs of trauma in the anterior segment pointing to trivial nature of the trauma. Two cases progressed to retinal detachment. This series highlights the importance of ocular protection and special care needed for children with BVMD.
