Inverted ILM Flap Technique in Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy

Corneal stromal lenticule transplantation for the treatment of congenital optic disc pit maculopathy : a case report and review

BACKGROUND

Congenital optic disc pit (ODP) is a relatively uncommon congenital anomaly of the optic disc, which seriously affects the patient's vision when combined with optic disc pit maculopathy(ODP-M). Currently, the treatment of ODP-M remains a clinical challenge and a focus of research.

CASE PRESENTATION

A boy had a pit in the inferotemporal segment of the optic disc with ODP-M. Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT) showed ODP and serous retinal detachment. He was treated with pars plana vitrectomy(PPV), followed by Corneal Stromal Lenticule (CSL) sealing and C3F8 tamponade. In the end, significant anatomical improvement was achieved, and the Best Corrected Visual Acuity(BCVA) was improved.

CONCLUSIONS

The CSL transplantation may be a viable therapeutic option for improving ODP-M with stable anatomical and functional result. However, more cases and longer follow-up are needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the technology.
