Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Large macular holes secondary to blunt trauma are sometimes seen in young patients within the spectrum of alterations produced by ocular trauma. METHODS: Observational case report. A 32-year-old woman who had received a blunt trauma (a blow from a fist) to her right eye 10 years previously had experienced a decrease in visual acuity ever since. RESULTS: Clinical photographs, fluorescein angiography and optic coherent tomography images revealed a very large macular hole of approximately 1,920 μm in diameter. CONCLUSION: This case is an uncommonly large variant of a macular hole secondary to blunt trauma in a young patient.
