Abstract
BACKGROUND: Of patients with an optic pit 30% develop an associated maculopathy of unknown origin. We report on 8 patients with an optic pit and associated maculopathy evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detection of structural retinal changes and indications for the pathogenesis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 8 patients (mean age 25 years) suffering from an optic pit and associated maculopathy were evaluated by biomicroscopy, fluorescein angiography (FLA) and OCT and the results were compared.
RESULTS: Visual acuity was on average 0.5 (0.05-0.8). Funduscopy revealed a macular elevation. In clinically suspected 'pseudo' macular hole, OCT revealed foveal schisis. OCT demonstrated a retinal detachment with a typical convex schisis of the outer retinal layer (n=6), and three patients showed a neurosensory detachment with (n=2) and without (n=1) intraretinal cystoid formation.
CONCLUSION: The typical macular schisis pattern in OCT in optic pit with serous maculopathy helps to differentiate this condition from other macular elevations.
