Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate intraoperative dynamic flow through an optic disk pit. METHODS Retrospective interventional case report. RESULTS Surgical management of an optic disk pit involved standard, 25-gauge, pars plana vitrectomy, induction of posterior hyaloid separation with triamcinolone stain, temporal peripapillary laser, and SF 6 gas. Intraoperatively, a remnant of stained vitreous at the optic disk head prolapsed into the optic disk pit with higher intraocular pressure but was drawn back into the vitreous cavity as the intraocular pressure was lowered. This clearly demonstrated a pressure differential across the pit. CONCLUSION Communication between the vitreous cavity and the perineural space of the optic nerve is described histologically. Our case demonstrated dynamic flow through the optic disk pit with intraoperative fluctuation of intraocular pressure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this case series was to investigate the clinical course of patients with optic pit maculopathy. METHODS The medical records of all patients diagnosed with optic pit maculopathy in the past 10 years were reviewed. Optic pit maculopathy was diagnosed when localized intraretinal or/and subretinal fluid spread from the optic nerve to the macula. Outcome measures included changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (RT) as well as nasal parafoveal and perifoveal RT. RESULTS An optic disc pit was detected in 18 patients (9 female, 9 male, mean age: 33 ± 23 years). Retinal fluid accumulation was present in 6 (33.3%) of the patients (1 intraretinal, 1 subretinal, 4 intraretinal and subretinal). Pars plana vitrectomy with removal of peripapillary vitreous traction and peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) was indicated in 5 patients and was performed in 4 patients. One patient underwent nanopulse laser treatment instead. The patients with optic pit maculopathy were 47 ± 16 years old. In this group of patients, mean BCVA (decimal) improved from 0.3 ± 0.2 before treatment to 0.5 ± 0.2 3 months after treatment (p = 0.03). Visual acuity improved in all patients with optic disc pit maculopathy after pars plana vitrectomy. The mean central RT decreased from 796 ± 214 before treatment to 324 ± 57 3 months after treatment (p = 0.005). The mean nasal parafoveal RT decreased from 683 ± 87 before treatment to 372 ± 41 (p = 0.0003) and the mean nasal perifoveal RT decreased from 547 ± 89 before treatment to 360 ± 48 (p = 0.007). A completely dry macula was achieved in 4 eyes after a mean follow-up of 3 months. At long-term follow-up (2.5 ± 1.2 years), no recurrence occurred in the vitrectomized eyes. CONCLUSION This case series showed that more than one third of the patients had optic pit maculopathy presumably caused by disruption of the Kuhnt intermediate tissue. Interventional treatment was indicated in all cases, of which 4 were surgically treated and resulted in significant improvement of function and anatomical retinal structures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Inverted Inner Limiting Membrane (ILM)-flap approach can fail in the treatment of Optic disc pit maculopathy (ODPM). We report a surgical technique involving human amniotic membrane (hAM) patch implant to treat unresolved ODPM after inverted (ILM)-flap technique. CASE REPORT One patient with decreased visual acuity (1 LogMar) after unsuccessful inverted ILM-flap technique to treat ODPM, underwent hAM patch implant and was evaluated. A surgical approach including a 2 mm size graft patch of hAM implantation over the optic disc pit followed by fluid-air exchange was performed. A gas endotamponade was finally used. The patient was instructed to maintain face-down position for the first three days after surgery. The hAM patch remained detectable over the pit for the entire 6-months follow-up. The ODPM gradually resolved and visual acuity partially recovered to 0.17 LogMar during follow-up. No postoperative complications or recurrence were reported. CONCLUSION hAM patch implant may be effective to manage ODPM after unsuccessful inverted ILM-flap.

Non-vasogenic cystoid maculopathies. Prog Retin Eye Res 2022; 91:101092.

Abstract
Besides cystoid macular edema due to a blood-retinal barrier breakdown, another type of macular cystoid spaces referred to as non-vasogenic cystoid maculopathies (NVCM) may be detected on optical coherence tomography but not on fluorescein angiography. Various causes may disrupt retinal cell cohesion or impair retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Müller cell functions in the maintenance of retinal dehydration, resulting in cystoid spaces formation. Tractional causes include vitreomacular traction, epiretinal membranes and myopic foveoschisis. Surgical treatment does not always allow cystoid space resorption. In inherited retinal dystrophies, cystoid spaces may be part of the disease as in X-linked retinoschisis or enhanced S-cone syndrome, or occur occasionally as in bestrophinopathies, retinitis pigmentosa and allied diseases, congenital microphthalmia, choroideremia, gyrate atrophy and Bietti crystalline dystrophy. In macular telangiectasia type 2, cystoid spaces and cavitations do not depend on the fluid leakage from telangiectasia. Various causes affecting RPE function may result in NVCM such as chronic central serous chorioretinopathy and paraneoplastic syndromes. Non-exudative age macular degeneration may also be complicated by intraretinal cystoid spaces in the absence of fluorescein leakage. In these diseases, cystoid spaces occur in a context of retinal cell loss. Various causes of optic atrophy, including open-angle glaucoma, result in microcystoid spaces in the inner nuclear layer due to a retrograde transsynaptic degeneration. Lastly, drug toxicity may also induce cystoid maculopathy. Identifying NVCM on multimodal imaging, including fluorescein angiography if needed, allows guiding the diagnosis of the causative disease and choosing adequate treatment when available.

Abstract
Purpose To share the anatomical results and visual outcomes of intravitreal gas tamponade combined with laser photocoagulation treatment for optic disc pit maculopathy (ODPM).
Methods Intravitreal gas tamponade combined with laser photocoagulation treatment was performed on six consecutive patients with ODPM. A 0.3 mL of 100% perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas was injected intravitreally. The patients were then asked to maintain prone position until the C3F8 gas disappeared. Laser photocoagulation was performed the day after the procedure. The outcomes were determined by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results In the present study, visual improvement and reduction in serous macular detachment were observed in 83% of the ODPM patients. Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in 66% of the ODPM patients. In one patient, no regression was observed after the repeated treatment, and pars plana vitrectomy was performed. The final BCVA improved in five eyes and unchanged in one eye. No postoperative complications were observed during the follow-up period in any patient. Conclusions Intravitreal C3F8 gas tamponade combined with laser photocoagulation procedure is an effective, minimally invasive, and cost-effective treatment method for ODPM.

Abstract
A 13 years old previously operated with 25-G pars plana vitrectomy with double internal limiting membrane peel and juxtapapillary endolaser with SF 6 gas tamponade for optic disc pit-associated maculopathy (ODP-M), presented with recurrence after 9 months of successful primary surgery. Three 25-G sclerotomies were made and Human Amniotic Membrane Graft was tucked into the optic disc pit (ODP), the position of the graft was confirmed with intraoperative ocular coherence tomography. Subretinal fluid rapidly resolved within 48 h and best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.5 LogMAR after 1 week. During the follow-up period of 12 months, no episodes of recurrence or reduction vision or adverse reactions were noted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the basic characteristics of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODPM) and the efficacies of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) treatment with different adjunctive strategies. METHODS The databases PubMed, EMBASE and Ovid up to April 2020 were searched to identify relevant studies. Statistical analyses were conducted with R software version 3.6.3. RESULTS Fifty-nine studies were eventually included for different aspects of statistical analyses. The pooling results suggest the general incidence of maculopathy in optic disc pit (ODP) is 51%, and the rate of serous macular detachment and retinoschisis is 49% and 58%, respectively. The incidence of sub-retinal fluid (SRF) only is 10%, intra-retinal retinal (IRF) fluid only is 14%, and SRF plus IRF is 69%. A lamellar macular hole (LMH) is present in 53% of cases, and 58% have communication between the macula with the pit. The incidence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), vitreo-papillary traction and vitreomacular traction (VMT) is 7%, 28% and 13%, respectively. Besides, the rate of complete anatomic success and visual improvement after PPV are both around 85%. Subgroup analysis reveals the anatomic, and visual success rates of PPV alone are 89% and 100%, respectively. Gas tamponade, laser or internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) during vitrectomy are less promising, while PPV with ILM flap stuffing could achieve better outcomes than cases without it. CONCLUSION Optic disc pit-associated maculopathy has different fundus characteristics. Based on the current evidence, PPV is effective for ODPM, and the combined application of gas tamponade, laser and ILMP should be used with caution.

Abstract
Optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare congenital optic nerve head abnormality, which can be complicated by intraretinal and subretinal fluid at the macula (ODP-maculopathy) with progressive visual loss. The source of this fluid remains unclear and the most dominant hypotheses have pointed to vitreous cavity or cerebrospinal fluid. Although spontaneous resolution has been reported, the majority of untreated cases of ODP-maculopathy result in final visual acuity less than 20/200 or worse. A wide array of interventions, either individually or in combination with adjuvant treatments, have been tried with varying degrees of success. Recently, different surgical procedures to fill the ODP by self-sealing materials in combination with pars plana vitrectomy have been reported as an effective adjuvant treatment. However, given the relative rarity of this condition, the majority of reports describe a small retrospective case series, making it difficult to compare among different treatments options and create a consensus regarding the optimal treatment for ODP-maculopathy. In this situation, a mini-review about surgical treatment modalities and their results can be a useful approach to identify the most effective surgical option in the management of ODP-maculopathy.
