Optic disc pit maculopathy: tamponade of maculoschisis

, , , , &
Pages 1735-1741 | Published online: 05 Sep 2019

Figures & data

Figure 1 (A) At presentation. Fundus photograph of optic disc, maculoschisis (outlined with white arrows), and inferior coloboma. There is slight depigmentation within the small subfoveal detachment, but no abnormality of the macular retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) elsewhere, since schisis fluid is not in contact with the RPE. (B) Composite OCT topography image of a “giant” maculoschisis cavity, in direct contact with the ODP. (C) OCT cross-section image showing a wide-open pit-macula communication (PMC) (12/15/14, CMT 906 microns, Volume 20.8 mm3).

Abbreviations: OCT, optical coherence tomography; ODP, optic disc pit; CMT, central macular thickness.

Figure 3 Twelve weeks after vitrectomy and C3F8 tamponade. (A) OCT topographic image showing inferonasal retraction of maculoschisis fluid out of the fovea. (B) OCT cross-section showing sustained closure of the pit-macula communication and resolved foveal schisis (5/27/15, CMT 410 microns, Volume 13.3 mm3).
