Dynamic atypical optic nerve coloboma associated with transient macular detachment.

[Spontaneous resolution of macular detachment associated with optic disc coloboma].

CASE REPORT A 24-year-old male presented with visual acuity loss of the right eye. Examination of the right eye fundus showed a serous detachment of the posterior pole associated with optic disc coloboma. The patient refused surgical treatment. After six months an improvement in visual acuity was observed with the disappearance of macular subretinal fluid. DISCUSSION The macular detachment is...

Spontaneous resolution of macular detachment associated with congenital anomalies of the optic nerve: coloboma and optic disc pit.

Retinoschisis and macular detachment associated with acquired enlarged optic disc cup

We describe a case of maculopathy consisting of macular retinoschisis and serous macular detachment occurring in a patient with an acquired enlarged optic disc cup, similar to the maculopathy observed in congenital optic nerve abnormalities, mainly optic nerve pits and colobomas, without vitreomacular traction nor angiographic leak. Pars plana vitrectomy with argon laser endophotocoagulation an...

Ectopic cerebrospinal-like fluid from retrobulbar cysts as a possible cause of pediatric retinal detachment associated with optic disc coloboma: new implications for management.

Retinal detachment in adults with posterior segment coloboma is thought to be rhegmatogenous. Vitrectomy techniques are therefore used therapeutically. There is indirect evidence that subretinal fluid in retinal detachment, associated with optic nerve cavitation, is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We report 2 pediatric cases, referred for the management of coloboma-related retinal detachment, that p...

Optic disc abnormalities - diagnosis, evolution and influence on visual acuity.

Congenital abnormalities of the optic disc are not so rare. The etiology for the most of them is unknown. Visual acuity of affected eye may be minimally or severely affected, depending on the extent of lesion. All of these conditions can be unilateral or bilateral. Children who have unilateral optic disc abnormalities generally present during the preschool years with sensory esotropia. Visual a...
