“…The elements of these two components are serous macular detachment and retinoschisis, which are typical for this disease [10,11]. We also observed these two components clearly in all our cases; a similar finding to a study by Karacorlu et al [10].…”

Autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography findings in optic disc pit-associated maculopathy: case series

et al. 2011

The aim of this case series was to report and discuss the clinical, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of four eyes of three cases with optic disc pit (ODP)-related serous macular detachment. Three cases were referred to the retina department of our hospital for decreased visual acuities in four of their eyes. In addition to ophthalmological examinations, OCT and FAF were also performed. ODP-related serous macular detachment was detected clinically in all the eyes. OCT also showed two typical components named as 'bilaminar structure' in all eyes and OCT and FAF photography showed precipitates in the retinal outer layers of the detachment area in three eyes. OCT and autofluorescence photography findings can support clinical observations in the diagnosis of ODP-related maculopathy.

“…19 Vitrectomy combined with gas tamponade, 10,13 endophotocoagualtion, 11 silicone oil, 20 ILM peeling, 21 or sub-retinal fluid drainage 22 have also been performed with a relatively high success rate. Our results show that vitrectomy is not the only way to relieve vitreous traction, especially in cases where no obvious tractional force was noted on OCT. Vitreous traction was found only in some patients with ODPM, 23 further raising concerns about the use of vitrectomy in all cases of ODP. In our nine eyes, only one patient had vitreomacular traction before treatment (patient 1).…”

“…Several OCT studies have demonstrated vitreous strands over ODPs [28, 30, 40]. Several reports describe a membrane over the ODP [41–43], and it has been noted that ODP-M can develop after this membrane disappears, presumably due to vitreous traction over it [44, 45]. On the other hand, ODP-M can occur in pediatric patients before the onset of any changes in the vitreous, and also in adults without PVD [1, 13, 19].…”

Optic disc pit maculopathy: when and how to treat? A review of the pathogenesis and treatment options

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare congenital anomaly of the optic disc, which can be complicated by a maculopathy associated with progressive visual loss. Optic disc pits are usually unilateral and sporadic in occurrence, and the development of maculopathy is unpredictable with no known triggers. Optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) is characterized by intraretinal and subretinal fluid at the macula, causing visual deterioration. The source of this fluid is still unclear, and several competing theories have suggested it may be vitreous fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, leakage from blood vessels at the base of the pit or leakage from the choroid. The mechanism of pathogenesis of ODP-M has not been fully elucidated, but vitreous liquefaction and traction and pressure gradients within the eye have been implicated to be involved. There are no clear guidelines on the management of patients with ODP-M, and numerous techniques have been described, including laser photocoagulation, intravitreal gas injection, macular buckling and pars plana vitrectomy with many different modifications. The majority of reports describe small series, and as there are no comparative studies there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for ODP-M. This review discusses the literature on the possible sources of fluid and mechanisms of pathogenesis in ODP-M, as well as the wide array of treatment modalities and their results. Based on these, a set of recommended key concepts for the timing and choice of treatment for these challenging are presented.

Optical coherence tomography in optic pit maculopathy

Abstract: These findings support the concept of a bilaminar structure that contains retinoschisis and serous macular detachment. Our data also showed that in some patients, the sole component of maculopathy was serous macular detachment or retinoschisis.
