Tópico(s)Retinal and Optic Conditions
ResumoThis article discusses two current indications for intraocular surgery for optic nerve conditions. The first topic is macular detachment in association with congenital optic disc pit, and includes a review of the theories of pathogenesis and management options including our own experience of treatment with vitrectomy and gas tamponade. In addition, the histopathological findings of a new case of optic disc pit with serous macular detachment are presented, adding to the rare examples previously reported. The second subject is a radial optic neurotomy, a recently advocated treatment for central retinal vein occlusion, which, despite its controversial nature, is gaining in popularity.
