Ten years follow-up after surgery for a foveal detachment due to optic disc pit: a case report of outer retinal layer healing.

Background: To report a case of complete progressive visual recovery and healing of outer retinal layers after vitrectomy for foveal detachment associated with optic disc pit.

Case Presentation: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) follow-up was performed on a 15-year-old boy with deep optic disc pit and foveal detachment, before and for 10 years after vitrectomy with gas. The foveal detachment was successfully reattached with complete reapplication of the retina.

Purpose: To describe the surveillance, results of screening, and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a university hospital setting in southeast France.

Patients And Methods: Five hundred two premature infants were included in the screening protocol between January 1997 and December 1999. Criteria for inclusion in the study were a gestational age of 32 weeks or younger, a birth weight of less than 1,501 g, or both.
