Management of Recurrent Optic Disc Pit-Associated Maculopathy with Human Amniotic Membrane Graft in a Pediatric Case: A Case Report

Abstract

A 13 years old previously operated with 25-G pars plana vitrectomy with double internal limiting membrane peel and juxtapapillary endolaser with SF 6 gas tamponade for optic disc pit-associated maculopathy (ODP-M), presented with recurrence after 9 months of successful primary surgery. Three 25-G sclerotomies were made and Human Amniotic Membrane Graft was tucked into the optic disc pit (ODP), the position of the graft was confirmed with intraoperative ocular coherence tomography. Subretinal fluid rapidly resolved within 48 h and best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.5 LogMAR after 1 week. During the follow-up period of 12 months, no episodes of recurrence or reduction vision or adverse reactions were noted.
