BACKGROUND The exact pathogenesis of central retinal detachment associated with optic disc pit is still unknown. Vitrectomy has proven to be the most effective therapy. METHODS In two patients with macular detachment associated with optic disc pit, a pars-plana-vitrectomy with surgical posterior vitreous detachment and gastamponade was performed. We report on the interesting clinical course of these patients. RESULTS After the gas bubble was absorbed, we observed a displacement of the subretinal fluid inferiorly in both patients. Schisislike changes persisted in the macular area. After several months the subretinal fluid resolved completely. CONCLUSIONS The fluid displacement and the resolution-characteristics of the subretinal fluid after vitrectomy in cases of retinal detachment associated with optic disc pit are completely different from other rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. The gas bubble separates the central retinoschisis from the peripheral rhegmatogenous part. The reason for delayed resolution remains unclear. It may be due to tangential vitreous traction in the periphery.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
