Optical coherence tomography (Spectralis OCT-Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) revealed retinal detachment without retinoschisis connected to the ODP (Fig. 1). OCT revealed an apparent connection between the ODP and the vitreous cavity (Fig. 1).
Surgical procedure of the inverted ILM flap technique. The arrow indicates the direction of the inverted ILM flap. ILM, internal limiting membrane.

The ILM was stained with ILM-Blue (DORC International), and a temporal optic disc edge-based 1.5-DD sized ILM flap excluding the foveal area was made to cover the optic disc including the ODP (Fig. 2).
OCT performed 3 months after the last surgery reveals reattached retina and the ODP overlaid with ILM flap (arrow). ODP, optic disc pit; ILM, internal limiting membrane.
