| Description | The pit of the disc is a congenital anomaly of the optic nerve disc. The prevalence is 1 of 11 000 patients. On the affected side, the optic disc is in 85% of cases larger than the disc of the other healthy eye. The pit of the disc is very often associated with the presence of the cilioretinal artery. Maculopathy in congenital pit of the optic nerve disc was described in the early 30's of the last century by Calhoun. The average age of the patients is roughly 30 years of age (from 20 to 40 years). The complementary examination method, which may help to clarify anatomical conditions of the macular region, is the optical coherence tomography. The defect of the optic disc of different depth caused by the pit and maculopathy caused by retinoschisis communicating with the temporal rim of the disc are found. This case report refers to a 29 years old man with disturbing relative central scotoma and decreased vision for one month in his right eye, who underwent classical three ports pars plana vitrectomy with expansive gas tamponade. |
