PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcome of surgical treatment for macular serous detachment associated with optic disc pit with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) without laser photocoagulation on the temporal edge. METHODS: Vitrectomy was performed in 8 eyes of 8 patients (mean age 27.25 years; range 12-57 years) with unilateral macular detachment associated with optic disc pit. All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy (cases 1, 2, 3, and 4, PPV 20 G; cases 5, 6, 7, and 8, PPV 25 G), internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, and SF6 20% gas tamponade (case 1 was treated with silicone oil tamponade). Endolaser on the temporal margin of the optic disk was not performed. Every patient was observed for a follow-up period of 59.25 months after surgery. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student t test paired data. p Value <0.05 was considered to be significant. RESULTS: Complete retinal reattachment was achieved in 7 of 8 patients. Case 8 was operated 11 months ago and he still has a small area of subretinal fluid not completely reabsorbed. Mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/83 and the mean postoperative BCVA was 20/40. Mean preoperative foveal thickness was 973 μm and mean postoperative foveal thickness was 363.5 μm. Case 7 developed a macular hole after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Pars plana vitrectomy, ILM peeling, and endotamponade (SF6 20% gas) without endolaser on the temporal edge of optic disc is an effective treatment. This procedure achieved successful anatomical and functional results.
