Introduction: Optic disc pit is a rare congenital anomaly that, in 60% of cases, can be complicated by serous macular detachment.
Case Report: We report the case of a 56-year-old patient who presented with serous macular detachment caused by optic disc pit and responsible for a deterioration of visual acuity. Intravitreal injection of 0.3 cc of C3F8 and peripapillary photocoagulation was unsuccessful. Vitrectomy, peripapillary photocoagulation, and intravitreal injection of C3F8 helped reduce the serous detachment and improved visual acuity.
Conclusion: Optic coherence tomography has become necessary in the management of this pathology whose mechanism is uncertain and treatment unconventional.

Background: Optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare congenital anomaly of optic nerve head and is associated with maculopathy. Scleral patch graft (SPG) as a therapeutic option is recently advocated.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 54 patients with ODP maculopathy who were followed up for 12 months post-operatively.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling combined with ILM plug placement in patients with optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included seven eyes from seven patients diagnosed with ODP-M, treated with fovea-sparing ILM peeling and ILM plug placement. All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), with either SF6 gas or silicone oil used as tamponade.

Article Synopsis
- - Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder linked to issues in the formation of endochondral bone, which can lead to various physical abnormalities.
- - The case presented includes unique eye features in a patient, such as telecanthus, esotropia, and bilateral microphthalmos.
- - Remarkably, the patient also showed a rare combination of optic disc anomalies and retroorbital cysts, marking the first time such findings have been documented in achondroplasia.

Purpose: To describe two patients affected by optic disk pit-maculopathy ODP-M surgically treated with pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) and the apposition of a human Amniotic Membrane (hAM) patch.
Methods: Patients underwent a PPV with the apposition of a hAM patch to cover the ODP. In case 1, a 2 surgery was necessary to push the hAM patch inside the pit, whereas in case 2 the patch was pulled inside the pit following the pressure gradient when infusion was turned on.
