Abstract

An optic disc pit is a rare congenital abnormality of the optic nerve, which in most cases presents as a unilateral finding. Clinically, a greyish oval excavation is seen, most commonly on the temporal side of the optic nerve disc. The optic disc pit alone normally does not lead to substantial symptoms or functional limitations;however, when a maculopathy with intraretinal and/or subretinal fluid and additional other morphological changes in the macula occur, this leads to a decrease in visual acuity. With spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) it is possible to identify the various forms of expression, which show different natural courses. Especially the presence of subretinal fluid and defects in the outer retinal layers have a poor prognosis and have the highest risk for further deterioration. Spontaneous resolution can occur but is rare. Observation is recommended in the first step. In cases of progression or pronounced deterioration, surgical intervention is indicated. Many different techniques have been proposed but there is no gold standard at the moment. Most of the surgical approaches comprise pars plana vitrectomy with peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and gas endotamponade. Newer methods, such as the ILM flap technique also show good results. Generally, it is important to know that postoperative healing and resorption of the fluid often take a long time period of up to 1 year or even longer.
