[Vitrectomy in optic nerve disc pit with maculopathy].
There is described a rare case of a congenital optic disc pit of the 20-years old man that was accompanied by a cyst-like change in the macula with serous retinal detachment. Visual impairment in his right eye was treated with pars-plana-vitrectomy with surgical posterior vitreous detachment and gas tamponade. After temporary pneumatic displacement of the subretinal fluid inferiorly the corrected visual acuity improved to 6/9. Schisislike changes persisted in the macular area. Our findings could support the view on the two-layer structure of optic disk pit maculopathy and an important role of tangential vitreous traction in the pathogenesis of the central retinal detachment.
