Abstract
PURPOSE: Description of the results of vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade to repair serous macular detachment associated with optic disk pit. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: The authors report on a 17-year-old girl with serous macular detachment with a very thin layer near the fovea which clinically simulated a lamellar macular hole and macular schisis associated with an optic disk pit. The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy with posterior hyaloid removal and silicone oil tamponade. RESULTS: Good anatomic and functional results were obtained after 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: This surgical approach may be a valuable technique for the surgical management of serous macular detachment associated with an optic disk pit.
