A 12-year-old child with an optic disk pit underwent surgery to treat a macular detachment, using a specialized technique involving an inverted ILM flap.
Post-operative OCT-angiography revealed notable features, including areas of capillary dropout and star-shaped folds in the retina and choroid, indicating changes in blood flow and structure.
Two years after surgery, OCT-angiography showed improved macular blood flow, which aligned with the child's full recovery of visual acuity, highlighting the effectiveness of this imaging method for monitoring recovery in similar cases.

- Recent research by Pertile Maria Grazia focuses on the use of OCT-angiography in understanding the vascular characteristics of retinal conditions, particularly in cases involving optic disk pits.
- A significant case study reported describes a 12-year-old patient who underwent surgery for macular detachment due to an optic disk pit, highlighting the effectiveness of the inverted ILM flap technique post-vitrectomy.
- Findings revealed unique OCT-angiography features such as capillary drop-out in different plexus layers and specific morphological changes in the choroidal and retinal structures, contributing to the understanding of postoperative retinal vascular dynamics.
