A 12 year old boy presented to us with complaints of diminution of vision following blunt injury to his left eye. Examination revealed a grade 5 retina-choroidal coloboma in left eye with haemorrhage at its inferior border. A macular hole was seen clinically which was confirmed on ocular coherence tomography (OCT). Repeat fundus examination & OCT after 10 days revealed spontaneous closure of the macular hole with improvement in the visual acuity. Keywords: Macular hole, Spontaneous closure, Traumatic
