“…ODPs can be congenital or acquired. A congenital ODP is usually a standalone, oval, gray-white depression that is most commonly located in the inferotemporal segment of the optic disc and that is frequently associated with macular involvement, either as a serous retinal detachment or as a cystoid retinal edema [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Optic disc pits are a very rare clinical entity, affecting approximately one in 11,000 people. Patients with congenital optic disc pit sometimes remain asymptomatic, but 25% to 75% present with visual deterioration in their 30s or 40s after developing macular schisis and detachment. The most widely accepted treatment for such patients is a surgical approach involving pars plana vitrectomy with or without internal limiting membrane peeling, with or without endolaser photocoagulation and C3F8 endotamponade.

“…Optic disc pits are rare congenital anomalies first described by Wiethe in 1882 (1) , as two black depressions with an olive-gray tint located on the optic nerve head of a 62 year-old woman. Frequency of optic disc pits was estimated to be approximately one in every 11,000 patients (2)(3) .…”

“…Optic pit is a relatively rare colobomatous anomaly of the optic disc whose incidence is estimated to be about 1 case in 11,000 ophthalmic patients (Reis, 1908;Kranenburg, 1960). We found only 13 cases in over 6,000 patients selected for pathology of the fundus of the eye.…”

In a study of 15 eyes with optic pits fluorescein angiography revealed that only pits associated with serous detachment of the macular retina showed fluorescence in the late venous phase, while the pits uncomplicated by detachment remained hypofluorescent throughout the test. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that the subretinal fluid producing the macular detachment originates from leakage of vessels located in the floor of the pit. In addition a high incidence of anomalies was found to be associated with optic pits. Therefore the author suggests to call the association between optic pit and large optic disc, parapapillary chorioretinal changes, cilioretinal vessels, situs inversus and eventual other vessel abnormalities, the 'optic pit syndrome'.
