Abstract
To report a case of a serous macular detachment associated with optic pit that did not improve after a previous vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, peripapillary laser, and gas tamponade. The authors performed a lens-sparing 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with autologous transplantation of ILM inside the optic nerve pit and gas tamponade. The subretinal fluid gradually resolved and visual acuity improved to 20/20 at the tenth month after surgery. The authors did not observe a recurrence of subretinal fluid during the 14 months of follow-up. Autologous transplantation of the ILM may be effective to repair recurring optic disc pit maculopathy.
