Abstract

Optic disc pits are an uncommon congenital anomaly of the optic nerve head. Serous detachment of the macula is a well known complication in patients with an optic disc pit Although spontaneous reattachment has been reported, most eye with macular detachment associated with optic disc pit have a poor visual prognosis inspite of treatments. We have experienced a case of optic disc pit associated with serous macular detachment, that has been treated with argon pure green laser photocoagulation, reporting it with a review of literature.
