Managing Optic Pit. The Right Stuff! The purpose of the surgical treatment of optic disc pit–associated maculopathy is to produce a permanent intraretinal and subretinal blockade of fluid migration, which should result in improved visual acuity. Because of the rarity of this disease, it is extremely difficult to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial. Thus, a number of surgical techniques are used. Over the past 20 years, the most popular surgical technique used in the above-mentioned condition has been vitrectomy with posterior vitreous detachment, with eventual gas exchange, with or without laser photocoagulation. In a recent multicenter study, vitrectomy with laser photocoagulation was not confirmed to show any benefit when compared with vitrectomy without laser photocoagulation. The role of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in the macular area is also controversial. In long-term follow-up, it was reported to be associated with reduction of macular thickness in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Different attempts to seal the pit have been proposed: A case report of injecting autologous platelets over the optic disc pit showed good results. Travassos et al introduced an autologous scleral transplant in three eyes. Others proposed inverting an ILM flap over the pit. The authors previously used the last technique, but had the impression that long-term results are unstable and maculopathy reappears. The aim of this article was to discuss a new surgical approach, stuffing the inverted ILM flap into the optic pit.
