Open full text 9 citations

Abstract

Optic pits are congenital defects of the optic disc. Diagnosis of optic pit maculopathy is quite challenging in the absence of a clinically visible or optical coherence tomography (OCT) proven pit. One such scenario is when there is advanced glaucomatous cupping. We present a case in which OCT helped detect optic disc pit maculopathy in a 60-year-old female.
