Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy Treated With Human Amniotic Membrane and Autologous Internal Limiting Membrane Flap: A Case Report
Optic disc pit (ODP)-associated maculopathy represents a rare and challenging condition with variable response to treatment. We report a case of a 23-year-old woman who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with placement of a human amniotic membrane (hAM) patch along with an autologous internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap to treat ODP-associated macular detachment. Initial postoperative outcomes demonstrated significant anatomical and functional improvement, which remained stable for one year. This report highlights the potential benefits of combined hAM-assisted repair with autologous ILM flap for optic disc pit maculopathy and underscores the need for long-term follow-up and further refinement of surgical techniques.
