OCT-angiography in optic disk pit after inverted ILM flap : A case report

BACKGROUND: To describe OCT-angiography features in a case of an optic disk pit (ODP) which underwent a pars plana vitrectomy with inverted ILM flap for macular detachment.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 12 years old child with an ODP responsible for a macular detachment underwent 23G vitrectomy in the subacute phase of the disease with an inverted ILM flap used as a plug over the lateral dehiscence of the pit. Among the various retinal imaging examinations performed in the post-operative period, the OCT-angiography showed very interesting features characterized by a capillary drop-out in correspondence of the superficial and deep capillary plexus, a fine texture of the choroid capillary layer and star-shaped folds in correspondence of both the outer retina and the choroid capillary layer. OCT-A performed 24 months after surgery showed a normalization of the macular perfusion which correlated with a full recovery of the visual acuity of the young child.

CONCLUSIONS: OCT-A is an useful tool to monitor the subretinal fluid reabsorption after ILM inverted flap surgery for ODP-maculopathy and correlates with visual function. OCT-A may be useful in the follow-up of this rare condition as well as its response to therapeutic strategies.
