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.

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.
