1a and b) Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) showed the right eye with a normal foveal contour and the left eye with a blunted foveal contour, inner layer hyperreflectivity nasal to the fovea, and large cystoid spaces centrally. Retinal exam in the right eye was unremarkable, and in the left eye an optic nerve pit was noted with the presence of intraretinal fluid temporal to the disc, sparing the fovea. Her external ocular exam, anterior segment and vitreous were normal bilaterally. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 16 mm of Hg in both eyes. Her exam revealed a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/25 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. She had been followed yearly by a general ophthalmologist prior to consultation. Past ocular history was only positive for mild myopia (− 1.50 D) in both eyes. Her past medical history was significant for dysautonomia treated with oral fludricortisone and propranolol, and HEELP syndrome that developed during her previous pregnancy. We report a case of worsening ODP maculopathy during pregnancy with good visual outcome after surgical intervention.Ī 30-year-old female was initially referred to our clinic with a four-day history of central blurry vision in the left eye.

No trigger factors for ODP maculopathy have been reported before. Nine-months after the second surgery the macular hole was closed with near complete resorption of edema.

Three-weeks later, a full thickness macular hole developed, and repeat surgery was performed. Laser photocoagulation was tried in an attempt to prevent surgical intervention without success subsequently, pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peel and gas tamponade was performed.

On Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) subretinal, and intraretinal fluid was confirmed. Ophthalmic examination revealed left eye reduced visual acuity (VA) with the presence of subretinal fluid temporal to the disc extending to the fovea. Case presentationĪ 30-year-old female developed unilateral blurry vision at 10-weeks gestation. To report a case of Optic Disc Pit (ODP) maculopathy exacerbated during pregnancy.
