[Surgical treatment of the optic disc pit XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity1020
PURPOSE: To evaluate long-term effects of anatomic and functional changes after the surgical treatment of the optic disc pit @entity1020 in a retrospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six @entity1 with unilateral optic disc pit @entity1020 were included in this study. Four were females and 2 males, age ranged from 13 to 35 years (mean, 26 years). All @entity1 underwent the pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and the intraocular tamponade with the air-gas mixture. These 6 @entity1 were divided into two groups: group A, the surgical treatment without aimed argon laser photocoagulation, and group B, the surgical treatment with aimed argon laser photocoagulation during 2 months after the pars plana vitrectomy. The follow-up period ranged from 41 to 73 months (mean, 53.3 months). RESULTS: In the group A, the best-corrected visual acuity improved by 2 and more lines (Snellen optotype) in all 3 @entity1 . In the group B, the improvement by 2 and more lines was found out in 2 @entity1 and the decrease by 2 lines was observed in one @entity1 . The recurrence of the @entity1020 occurred in 2 @entity1 from the group A. In the group B, the recurrence of the @entity1020 was recorded in one @entity1 53 months after pars plana vitrectomy and aimed argon photocoagulation. CONCLUSION: The surgical intervention by pars plana vitrectomy for the optic disc pit @entity1020 improves the anatomic and functional prognosis. The suitable aimed argon laser photocoagulation after the surgical treatment in selected @entity1 improves outcome and reduce the recurrence of the optic disc pit @entity1020 .
