Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Optic Disc Structural Anomaly
Maculopathy
Registration Number
NCT03185936
Lead Sponsor
Minia University
Brief Summary

To evaluate the anatomical and functional results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, endolaser photocoagulation and gas tamponade in management of optic disc pit (ODP) maculopathy.

Detailed Description

As it is well known, optic disc pit (ODP) is a rare congenital disease which is usually associated with maculopathy (ODP-M) in the form of intraretinal and subretinal fluid accumulation at the macular area leading to visual impairment.

With no definite treatment and absence of guidelines for its management, the invistigators considered their prospective, interventional case series to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, endolaser photocoagulation and gas tamponade in management of optic disc pit (ODP) maculopathy.
