Refined Internal Limiting Membrane Inverted Flap Technique for Intractable Macular Detachment with Optic Disc Pit

چکیده
PURPOSE To report a surgical technique for retinal detachment associated with optic disc pit (ODP) by using an internal limiting membrane (ILM) inverted flap as an obstacle between the vitreous cavity and subretinal space. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in the right eye for 1 week due to macular detachment associated with ODP. After 2 unsuccessful surgeries, the retina was reattached by vitrectomy with an ILM inverted flap onto the ODP. CONCLUSION Covering the pit with an inverted ILM flap is a reliable method for intercepting fluid from the vitreous cavity. Immediate absorption of subretinal fluid may lead to early macular attachment. This technique would be effective in managing ODP.

Inverted Autologous Internal Limiting Membrane for Management of Optic Disc Pit with Macular Detachment
Macular detachment causes visual deterioration in 25-75% of patients with congenital optic disc pit. A number of treatment options have been reported to manage the macular detachment in optic pit. An optic disc pit represents a defect in the lamina cribrosa; theoretically, an ideal procedure to treat optic pit associated macular detachment would be one that prevents the flow of fluid across the...
متن کاملSurgical management of optic disc pit maculopathy with a fovea sparing internal limiting membrane flap
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 y...

This article reports a case of possible involvement of membrane tissue on the optic disc with macular schisis formation associated with glaucomatous optic disc without optic disc pits. A 78-year-old man presented with loss of central visual acuity of the left eye. He had a medical history of primary open-angle glaucoma. Visual acuity was 0.6 in his left eye, and funduscopy revealed macular schi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique in vitrectomy for macular hole (MH) with retinal detachment (RD) compared with vitrectomy using ILM peeling. METHODS A retrospective case series study was performed. Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients who underwent vitrectomy for MH with RD and followed-up more than 12 months after the surgery were in...
