Vitrectomy in Serous Macular Detachment Associated with Optic Pit

Optic disc pit is a rare congenital anomaly of the optic disc and may be complicated by maculopathy with progressive vision loss. Optical disc pits are generally unilateral and sporadic, and the pathogenesis of maculopathy is not clear. Optical disc maculopathy (ODP-M) is a condition characterized by intraretinal, subretinal fluid, and retinal layers dissociation (retinoschisis). The origin of the subretinal fluid is controversial, and it is thought to be caused by liquefied vitreous, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), leakage of the blood vessels in the base of the pit, and choroid. Although there is no consensus on its treatment, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone or combined PPV, juxtapapillary laser photocoagulation, gas tamponade injection are the most frequently used methods in recent years. In this article, literature research was conducted on the possible mechanisms of the optic disc pit and the treatment modalities used.

Aim: To study the long-term outcomes of optic disc pit maculopathy. Methods: Electronic medical records of 154 patients with optic disc pit were reviewed and 50 patients with optic disc pit maculopathy who met the study criteria were included in the study. Demographic profile of patients, along with clinical characteristics, optical coherence tomography (OCT) features and change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was recorded. Patients were treated either by observation, barrage laser alone or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with optional additional surgical procedures. The primary outcome measures were the change in BCVA and resolution of fluid on OCT. Results: The mean age of patients was 29.96 years (3–62 years) with a follow-up of 27.16 months. The mean baseline BCVA in observation, laser and vitrectomy group was log MAR 0.94, 0.76 and 0.87 and final BCVA was log MAR 0.9, 0.67 and 0.46, respectively. There was a statistically significant improvement in the final BCVA and reduction in subretinal fluid with resolution of the schisis cavity in vitrectomy group than in other groups. On regression analysis significant association was found between final BCVA with baseline BCVA ( R2 = 0.815, p = 0.002), use of C3 F8 endotempanode ( p = 0.004) ILM peeling ( p = 0.012) and use of triamcinolone (TA; p = 0.003). No significant association was found with juxtapapillary endolaser ( p = 0.062). Conclusions: In patients with disc pit maculopathy, PPV lead to better functional and anatomical outcomes as compared to laser or observation alone. Use of surgical adjuvants like ILM peeling, TA and C3F8 tamponade improved the outcomes, unlike juxtapapillary endolaser treatment.

A 13 years old previously operated with 25-G pars plana vitrectomy with double internal limiting membrane peel and juxtapapillary endolaser with SF 6 gas tamponade for optic disc pit-associated maculopathy (ODP-M), presented with recurrence after 9 months of successful primary surgery. Three 25-G sclerotomies were made and Human Amniotic Membrane Graft was tucked into the optic disc pit (ODP), the position of the graft was confirmed with intraoperative ocular coherence tomography. Subretinal fluid rapidly resolved within 48 h and best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.5 LogMAR after 1 week. During the follow-up period of 12 months, no episodes of recurrence or reduction vision or adverse reactions were noted.

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.

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.

An optic disc pit is a rare congenital anomaly of the optic nerve disc. It occurs rarely, and in case of its bilateral occurance, it can be caused by an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Ophthalmoscopically, the disc pit appears as an ovoid depression of the optic nerve disc. When identified unilaterally, the optic nerve disc is usually larger than the disc of the other healthy eye. Optic disc pits can be located anywhere in optic disc. Moreover, when located in the temporal margin, they can be accompanied by a maculopathy. The latest therapeutic possibilities include the retinal laser photocoagulation and pars plana vitrectomy, however the prognosis quoad visum neverthelles remains poor. This report deals with bilateral occurance of the optic disc pit in case of 9-year-old asymptomatic patient. The patient had been transferred to our ophthalmology department with suspected retinal detachment. Following the examination, the optic disc pit was diagnosed. The patient remains subject to further observation, however, owing to his current satisfactory vision without the need for a surgical intervention.
