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.
