Abstract
The frequent side effect of maculopathy in the optic disc pit seems to be based on a pathogenetically incompletely comprehended fluid exchange between the optic disc and the macula. A surgical procedure using vitrectomy with the creation of a barrier between the macula and the optic disc pit, for example using an endolaser or a scleral flap, is possible. In addition, the partial retinal fenestration as described here in detail represents an alternative surgical procedure resulting in liquid being conducted from the optic disc pit into the vitreous cavity. Complete absorption of the subretinal and intraretinal fluid can be expected within the first postoperative year.
