Recurrent Macular Detachment Due to Occult Retinal Break in a Patient With Optic Disc Pit

Xi Chen et al. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. .

Abstract

Serous macular detachment occurs in nearly 50% of eyes with optic disc pit. These macular detachments have been historically difficult to treat. The authors report a case of macular retinal detachment due to an occult juxtapapillary retinal break in a patient with optic disc pit refractory to prior treatments. This case demonstrates that a presumed serous detachment associated with an optic disc pit may have a rhegmatogenous etiology. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:432-434.].
