Occlusive vasculitis is a rare complication following an uneventful surgery. In this article, we report two cases of optic disc pit maculopathy that underwent scleral graft and developed vasculitis following uneventful surgery. Both patients underwent autologous scleral graft for optic disc pit maculopathy through 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy. Scleral graft was harvested from patient's same eye and plugged in the optic disc pit. After a postoperative period of approximately 3 months, both patients developed features of occlusive vasculitis with vitreous base contraction. Uveitic workup did not reveal other causes of vasculitis. Both patients were treated with topical and systemic steroids and responded well until the last follow-up. .
