GAS TAMPONADE (GT) AND ENDOLASER (EL) FOR SEROUS MACULAR DETACHMENT (SMD) ASSOCIATED WITH OPTIC DISC PIT (ODP): CASE SERIES REPORT.

Introdução / Purpose

TO DESCRIBE THE CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF THREE CASES OF GT AND EL FOR THE TREATMENT OF SMD ASSOCIATED WITH ODP.

Material e Método / Methods

RETROSPECTIVE, SERIES CASE REPORT. THREE PATIENTS WITH SEROUS MACULAR DETACHMENT ASSOCIATED WITH OPTIC DISC PIT UNDERWENT GAS TAMPONADE WITH PHOTOCOAGULATION LASER WERE EVALUATED IN THIS STUDY.

Resultados / Results

ALL THREE CASES SHOWED AT FUNDUS BIOMICROSCOPY SMD DUE TO A ODP. AND ALL WERE SUBMITTED TO A 0,3 ML C3F8 INJECTION FOLLOWED BY LASER.
CASE 1: FEMALE, WHITE, 12 YEARS-OLD. VISUAL ACUITY (VA) DECREASE IN THE RIGHT EYE FOR SIX MONTHS. VA 20/200 (OD) AND 20/20 (OS). THE SMD SLOWLY RESOLVED IN A YEAR. VA WAS 20/20 (FOLLOW-UP: 14 YEARS)
CASE 2: MALE, WHITE, 11 YEARS-OLD, CISUAL ACUITY (VA) DECREASE IN THE RIGHT EYE FOR 4 MONTHS. VA 20/200 (OU). SMD DISAPPEARED IN 10 MONTHS VA WAS 20/40 (FOLLOW-UP: 22 MONTHS).
CASE 3: MALE, WHITE, 22 YEARS-OLD, VISUAL ACUITY (VA) DECREASE IN THE RIGHT EYE FOR IN THE RIGHT EYE FOR 7 MONTHS. VA: 20/150 (OD) AND 20/20 (OS). VA: 20/25 (FOLLOW-UP: 8 MONTHS).

Discussão e Conclusões / Conclusion

OUR CASE SERIES SHOWS THREE CASES SUCCESSFULLY TREATED GAS TAMPONADE AND JUXTAPAPILAR LASER IN A SAFE, NON INVASIVE AND EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SEROUS MACULAR DETACHMENT DUE TO OPTIC DISC PIT.
