Autologous Free Internal Limiting Membrane Flap for Optic Nerve Head Pit With Maculopathy

Optic disc pits (ODPs) are associated with serous macular detachment (SMD), which causes visual loss in 25% to 75% patients with ODPs. There are various modalities of noninvasive and invasive treatment options; however, the best method of treatment is to seal the optic disc to prevent further egress of fluid into the subretinal space. The authors report a technique that involves sealing of ODPs with autologous free flap of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). After trans pars plana vitrectomy, the ILM was peeled and plugged into the ODP. This procedure gave good anatomical and functional success. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:350-353.].
