Abnormal vitreous structure in optic nerve pit.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 37-year-old man presented with an optic nerve pit and serous macular detachment of the left eye. Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy revealed a cyst-like structure terminating at the pit in the premacular vitreous. During ocular movement, this structure moved vigorously and seemed to exert traction on the pit. We believe that it is part of an anomalous Cloquet's canal, and that traction on the pit may be a significant factor in the development of serous macular detachment in this patient.

متن کاملFunctional microperimetry and SD-OCT confirm consecutive retinal atrophy from optic nerve pit
A congenital anomaly, optic nerve pit is often associated with serous retinal detachment involving macula. Long standing serous detachment leads to outer retinal atrophy and decrease in visual sensitivity. Recently, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been reported to demonstrate a communication between the optic nerve sheath and the subretinal space. Vitreous cavity is propo...
