The purpose of this report is to present the outcomes of surgical interventions in 4 patients with maculopathy associated with optic disc pit (ODP). We report 4 cases of patients affected by ODP maculopathy and treated by core vitrectomy with induction of posterior vitreous detachment and peeling of the internal limiting membrane restricted to the interpapillary macular zone without laser treatment and gas tamponade. The patients had rapid resolution of the multilayer inner retinoschisis-like separation and progressive slow reabsorption of the macular intraretinal and subretinal fluid up to complete retinal reattachment. Currently, there are still no widely accepted guidelines related to the best technique in the management of the maculopathy associated with ODP. We used a conservative approach, without the adoption of intravitreal gas injection or laser.

Anatomical Success

AimTo compare the anatomical and visual outcomes of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling alone versus inverted ILM flap to plug the pit versus autologous scleral plug for the treatment of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M).MethodsThis retrospective study included 23 patients (23 eyes) who underwent 25G pars plana vitrectomy, ILM peeling and gas tamponade. While the pit was not plugged in group 1 (n=8), inverted ILM flap and autologous scleral flap were used to plug the pit in group 2 (n=7) and group 3 (n=8), respectively. Complete anatomical success was defined as total resolution of subretinal fluid (SRF) and macular schisis on optical coherence tomography while visual success was defined as a gain of at least 2 Snellen lines 1 year after surgery.ResultsBaseline characteristics were similar in all three groups. Mean central foveal thickness and SRF decreased in all three groups (p<0.05). Complete anatomical success was achieved in 25.0%, 85.7% and 87.5% eyes while visual success was achieved in 12.5%, 28.6% and 12.5% eyes in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. One eye (4.3%) in group 2 developed full-thickness macular hole at 1 month post-surgery. After complete resolution, there was no recurrence of fluid.ConclusionOPD-M has a better surgical outcome if the pit is plugged. Both inverted ILM flap and autologous scleral plug are equally efficacious adjuncts to plug the pit.

Prospective Case Series

Abstract Purpose To present the outcome of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODPM) managed successfully with inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap over the optic disc. Methods This prospective case series included three patients with ODPM who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with posterior vitreous detachment induction, followed by inverted ILM flap over the optic disc and gas tamponade. Patients were followed for 7-16 weeks as regards their functional and anatomical findings. A narrative review is also provided about Pathology, Pathogenesis, and surgical techniques in the treatment of ODPM Results Three adult patients (25–39 years old) were evaluated, with a mean duration of decreased visual acuity of 7.33 ± 2.40 months (4-12 months). Postoperatively, BCVA improved dramatically in one patient from 2/200 to 20/25. BCVA in the other two improved two and three lines, to 20/50 and 20/30, respectively. Significant anatomic improvement was achieved in all patients. Conclusion Vitrectomy with inverted ILM flap insertion over the optic disc can yield favorable anatomical improvement in patients with ODPM.

Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy

Purpose: This work presents a case of significant improvement of optic pit disc maculopathy following an acute posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and discusses the possible mechanisms of this phenomenon. Methods: A case report and review of the literature are presented. Results: A 56-year-old man presenting with progressive visual decline in his left eye was found to have an optic disc pit with optical coherence tomography (OCT) evidence of severe intraretinal edema and maculoschisis. His visual acuity and macular anatomy on OCT improved dramatically in the months following a PVD. Conclusions: This report presents an interesting case of spontaneous improvement of optic disc pit–related maculopathy following PVD. We discuss the cause of the retinal fluid accumulation in optic disc pit maculopathy and consider that the OCT findings in our case lend credence to the theory that this fluid originates from the vitreous humor.

Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy

The present report aimed to describe the macular structure’s recovery process in a case of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) with outer layer hole following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with juxtapapillary laser treatment (JPL). We performed repeated optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations to evaluate the macular structural changes. An 80-year-old man presented with distorted vision and decreased visual acuity (VA) in his left eye, experienced for 1 year, prior to presentation. Fundus examination and OCT showed intraretinal fluid (IRF) in the inner and outer retinal layers. Serous retinal detachment (SRD) with an outer layer hole in the macula was also evident. The IRF was connected to the optic disc; however, the SRD was isolated. Best-corrected VA was 20/100. PPV combined with JPL was performed. Posterior vitreous detachment creation and tamponade with sulfur hexafluoride was performed. Postoperatively, the inner retinal IRF at the fovea disappeared. The outer layer hole gradually closed and had completely disappeared 1 month postoperatively. After resolution of the outer layer hole, SRD reduced gradually and disappeared 8 months postoperatively, although the macular outer retinal IRF remained. The outer retinal IRF had partially resolved by the 18th postoperative month. Macular structure was completely recovered 31 months postoperatively, with an improved VA of 20/20. In conclusion, SRD might be associated with outer retinal IRF and outer layer holes. In cases of ODP-M, outer layer holes might induce optic disc-isolated SRD.

Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy

Purpose To report a case of optic disc pit maculopathy after spine surgery performed in the prone position. Methods Case report. Results A 32-year-old man underwent spine surgery for disc herniation repair. He complained of visual acuity loss immediately after the procedure. Optic disc maculopathy with internal limiting membrane detachment was found to be the cause. Vitrectomy was scheduled after a 12-month follow-up without resolution of the maculopathy. Conclusions Optic disc maculopathy has not previously been associated with nonocular surgery or patient positioning. Physiologic changes induced by the prone position likely altered the pressure gradient in the eye and led to the development of the maculopathy.

Purpose: To report a surgical technique for retinal detachment associated with optic disc pit (ODP) by using an internal limiting membrane (ILM) inverted flap as an obstacle between the vitreous cavity and subretinal space. Case Presentation: A 43-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in the right eye for 1 week due to macular detachment associated with ODP. After 2 unsuccessful surgeries, the retina was reattached by vitrectomy with an ILM inverted flap onto the ODP. Conclusion: Covering the pit with an inverted ILM flap is a reliable method for intercepting fluid from the vitreous cavity. Immediate absorption of subretinal fluid may lead to early macular attachment. This technique would be effective in managing ODP.

Abstract Purpose: To share the anatomical results and visual outcomes of intravitreal gas tamponade combined with laser photocoagulation treatment for optic disc pit maculopathy (ODPM). Methods: Intravitreal gas tamponade combined with laser photocoagulation treatmentwas performed on six consecutive patients with ODPM. A 0.3-mL of 100% octafluoropropane (C3F8) gas was injected intravitreally. The patients were then asked to maintain prone position until the C3F8 gas disappeared. Laser photocoagulation was performed the day after the procedure. The outcomes were determined by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results: In the present study, visual improvement and reduction in serous macular detachment was observed in 83% of the ODPM patients. Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in 66% of the ODPM patients. In one patient, no regression was observed after the repeated treatment and pars plana vitrectomy was performed. The final BCVA improved in five eyes and unchanged in one eye. No postoperative complications were observed during the follow-up period in any patient. Conclusions: Intravitreal C3F8 gas tamponade combined with laser photocoagulation procedure is an effective, minimally invasive, and cost-effective treatment method for ODPM.
