  • Title: 27-Gauge Via Pars Plana Vitrectomy With Autologous ILM Transplantation for Optic Pit Disc Maculopathy.
    Author: Caporossi T, Finocchio L, Barca F, Franco F, Tartaro R, Rizzo S.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina; 2018 Sep 01; 49(9):712-714. PubMed ID: 30222807.
    Abstract:
    To report a case of a serous macular detachment associated with optic pit that did not improve after a previous vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, peripapillary laser, and gas tamponade. The authors performed a lens-sparing 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with autologous transplantation of ILM inside the optic nerve pit and gas tamponade. The subretinal fluid gradually resolved and visual acuity improved to 20/20 at the tenth month after surgery. The authors did not observe a recurrence of subretinal fluid during the 14 months of follow-up. Autologous transplantation of the ILM may be effective to repair recurring optic disc pit maculopathy. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:712-714.].
