Background: Optic disk pits are known as congenital cavitary defects associated with serous detachment of the retina; 75% of such cases do not resolve spontaneously, and surgical management is required. The use of gas or oil tamponade in these cases has been associated with detachment of the retina attributed to the passage of intravitreal gas or fluid via the disk pit and into the subretinal space. Prophylactic peripapillary laser retinopexy is therefore recommended peroperatively to create a barrier to fluid flow between the vitreous cavity and the subretinal space.

Vascular changes associated with chorioretinal and optic nerve colobomas in rats (Crj: CD(SD), IGS).

Vet Ophthalmol

January 2006

Department of Laboratory Animal Science, School of Veterinary Medicine, Azabu University, 1-17-71 Fuchinobe Sagamihara Kanagawa 229-8501, Japan.

Objective: Three female adult rats (Crj: CD(SD) IGS) with colobomatous anomalies were investigated.

Materials And Methods: The microvascular changes of the coloboma were studied using the techniques of fluorescein angiography, histology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of vascular corrosion casts.

Results: Fluorescein angiography revealed the pits of the optic disk as a dark hole with some abnormalities in vessel arrangement.

STRATUS optical coherence tomography in unilateral colobomatous excavation of the optic disc and secondary retinoschisis.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2005

Department of Ophthalmology, Instituto da Visão-IPEPO, Federal University of São Paulo, Rua Botucatu 822, São Paulo, SP 04023-900, Brazil.

Purpose: To report the STRATUS optical coherence tomography (STRATUSOCT) findings in a patient with unilateral coloboma-like excavation of the optic disc without pit but secondary retinoschisis, as well as to discuss the possible involved pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Methods: Observational case report. STRATUSOCT findings in a 66-year-old woman with a coloboma-like excavation of the optic disc without pit but secondary retinoschisis encompassing the macular region, along with evidence of a mild epiretinal membrane superonasal to the disc were evaluated.

The present study is about a number of 19 cases (19 eyes), the patients having a congenital pit of the optic papilla (CPP) complicated with serous retinal detachment (SRD). The cases were selected, from a group of 41 patients with CPP. Average age of the cases was 37(31-54) years.
