Abstract
We report the outcomes of three consecutive patients with optic disc pit-associated maculopathy who were treated with 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, fluid-air exchange, barrage endolaser, and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas tamponade. Patients with optic disc pit-associated maculopathy were treated with 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy followed by ILM peeling, fluid-air exchange, barrage endolaser, and gas tamponade with 20% SF6. All patients were asked to maintain a facedown position for 3days postoperatively. This technique resulted in complete retinal reattachment after 25-gauge vitrectomy, ILM peeling, fluid-air exchange, barrage endolaser, and 20% SF6 gas injection. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved in all three patients and successful anatomical results were achieved. There wasn't any macular detachment in all cases at 20th week follow-up. Our outcomes suggest that 25-gauge vitrectomy with ILM peeling, fluid-air exchange, barrage endolaser, and SF6 gas tamponade appears to be an effective treatment option for optic disc pit-associated maculopathy.
