OPTIC COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY OF OPTIC DISK PIT MACULOPATHY

PURPOSE: To define the structure of optic disk pit maculopathy, METHOD S: A patient was examined with optic coherence tomography before and a fter an intravitreal, gas tamponade. RESULTS: Before intravitreal gas injection, optic coherence tomography defined a separation between the inner and outer layers of the retina that connected with the optic di sk pit. An outer retinal layer detachment that centered on the fovea w as also present. After pneumatic displacement of the intraretinal and subretinal fluid, optic coherence tomography disclosed that the two la yers were opposed and in contact with the retinal pigment epithelium. CONCLUSIONS: Optic coherence tomography confirmed the two-layer struct ure of optic disk pit maculopathy and demonstrated the positive effect of pneumatic displacement.
