Long-term treatment as chorioretinitis of atypical optic disk pit complicated by retinal detachment in the macular zone

Abstract

Changes in the macular zone of the retina, which have different etiopathogenesis, can occur with a similar ophthalmoscopic picture.

AIM: To present the clinical case of a child with a congenital the optic disc pit, complicated by retinal detachment in the macular zone, who received long-term treatment for chorioretinitis.

RESULTS: A 13-year-old child was referred to the Helmholtz National Medical Research Center for a diagnosis of an idiopatic chorioretinal inflammation in the right eye. For 2 years at home, the child received inpatient treatment, including anti-inflammatory, desensitizing, and antibacterial therapy, without changes in visual acuity, ophthalmoscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) data. Based on a comprehensive assessment of OCT results of the macular area and the optic nerve head (presence of a peripapillary slit-like detachment of the neuroepithelium in the superior temporal and inferior temporal quadrants, detachment of the neuroepithelium in the macula), anamnesis (lack of a “response” to ongoing anti-inflammatory therapy), biomicroscopy, and ophthalmoscopy (on the right, the optic disc is oval, horizontally elongated, decolorized, along the horizontal meridian it is made of glial tissue, in the area of the papillomacular bundle and in the macula, there is a rough redistribution of pigment. On the left, the optic disc is oval, horizontally elongated, decolorized, the macula and the periphery without pathology), the diagnosis was made: a congenital anomaly in the development of the optic disc (optic disc pit) in both eyes complicated by retinal detachment in the macula on the right. The child underwent transpupillary laser coagulation of the retina in the parapapillar zone in the upper and lower temporal quadrants of the right eye. Upon further observation after 1 and 2 months, OCT data revealed positive dynamics of resorption of the subretinal fluid in the macular zone, and an increase in visual functions was noted.

CONCLUSION: Сompetent interpretation and integration of the results of clinical and instrumental examinations and thorough analysis of anamnestic data make it possible to identify the pathology underlying structural disorders of the macular zone, which is of key importance in choosing the right treatment techniques and maintaining visual functions.
