Management of recurrent optic disc pit–associated maculopathy with human amniotic membrane graft in a pediatric case

ABSTRACT

Background: Optic disc pit–associated maculopathy (ODP-M) is a rare presentation in children. Therefore, only a few pediatric cases successfully managed have been reported in the literature. This video shows successful management of ODP-M with human amniotic membrane graft in a pediatric case presenting with recurrence with intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT). Purpose: To demonstrate a successful management of ODP-M with human amniotic membrane graft in a pediatric case presenting with recurrence. Synopsis A 13-year-old patient who had been previously operated with 25-G pars plana vitrectomy with double internal limiting membrane peel and juxtapapillary endolaser with SF 6 gas tamponade for optic disc pit–associated maculopathy (ODP-M) presented with recurrence 9 months after primary surgery. Three 25-G sclerotomies were made and human amniotic membrane graft was tucked into the ODP; the position of the graft was confirmed with intraoperative ocular coherence tomography. Subretinal fluid rapidly resolved within 48 h and best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.5 logMAR after one week. Later follow-ups showed no complications or recurrence. Highlights This video shows successful management of ODP-M with human amniotic membrane graft in a pediatric case presenting with recurrence with intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT), without any additional tamponade.
