Idiopathic full-thickness macular hole closure is a well-documented observation. Total posterior vitreous detachment is what
presumed to lead to the macular hole closure. Diabetic retinopathy is known to worsen the prognosis of FTMH compared to that of
an idiopathic etiology. We report a case of a 60-year-old male with severe non proliferative diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular
edema and epi-retinal membrane who developed a full-thickness macular hole. The patient had spontaneous closure of the macular
hole during treatment with anti- vascular endothelial growth factor bevacizumab regular injections almost 6 months after starting 3
weekly hemodialysis for kidney failure.
