Optic disc pit with serous macular detachment in a child
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 4
Abstract
Optic disc pits occur in less than 1 in 10.000. Approximately 50% of cases of congenital optic disc pits are associated with serous macular detachment. Long-standing serous detachments are usually associated with cystic degeneration of the macula and loss of pigment from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Hence, most eyes with serous macular detachment associated with an optic disc pit have a relatively poor visual prognosis. We represent a 9-year-old girl with a right optic disc pit associated with serous retinal detachment of the macula. Our experience underline that clinicians must be vigilant about the assessment of optic disc pit and furthermore in the diagnosis of optic disc pit, careful and close ophthalmologic examination for macular detachment is recommended for early diagnosis. Key words: Coloboma, macular degeneration, optic nerve, retinal detachment
