Patients and methods Thirteen eyes of 12 patients with serous macular detachment and/or macular retinoschisis secondary to congenital optic disc pit (ODP) were included in the study. All eyes underwent PPV, posterior hyaloid removal, endolaser photocoagulation on the temporal margin of the optic disc and 12% C3F8 gas tamponade. Anatomic success and functional outcome determined retrospectively by optical coherence tomography and measurement of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), respectively were the main outcome parameters. Results Two lines or more improvement in BCVA was obtained in 11 eyes and 6 of these eyes had 20/40 or better BCVA at the final visit. Subretinal or intraretinal fluid was completely resorbed postoperatively in 12 eyes but a little intraretinal fluid persisted in one eye at the 16-month follow-up. Better visual improvement was observed in patients treated by earlier surgical intervention. Conclusion PPV, C3F8 gas tamponade and endolaser to the optic disc margin without ILM peeling may yield favourable results in the treatment of ODP maculopathy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOphthalmologyInternal gas tamponadeLaser endophotocoagulationOptical coherence tomographyOptic disc pit maculopathyPars plana vitrectomySerous macular detachmentCoherence tomographyRetinal-detachmentGas tamponadeNerve headCongenital pitSpontaneous resolutionLaser treatmentPhotocoagulationChildAdolescentAdultAgedEndotamponadeEpiretinal membraneEye abnormalitiesFemaleFluorocarbonsFollow-up studiesHumansIntraoperative complicationsLaser coagulationMaleMiddle agedOptic diskRetinal detachmentRetinoschisisTomography, optical coherenceTreatment outcomeVisual acuityVitrectomyYoung adultArticle0003286020000042-s2.0-8489047625013591367271224037231OphthalmologyColoboma; Retinoschisis; Optic DiskAdultAgedArticleCiliary diskClinical articleEndolaserFemaleFollow upHumanLaser coagulationLong term careMaleMiddle agedOptic diskOptical coherence tomographyOutcome assessmentRetina maculopathyRetinoschisisVisual acuityVitrectomyYoung adult
