Surgical management of optic disc pit maculopathy with a fovea sparing internal limiting membrane flap.

ABSTRACT

Optic disc pit (ODP) is rare congenital cavitary anomaly of the optic disc. Serous detachment of macula is the most common complication of ODP and occurs in 25%-75% of these cases. Although various surgical techniques have been used for the treatment of ODP maculopathy; consensus still eludes as far as the optimal surgical approach is concerned. We herein report a case of ODP maculopathy in a young female treated successfully with vitrectomy, fovea sparing internal limiting membrane flap, and C3F8 tamponade.
