Double optic pit with wedge-shaped choroidal dystrophy

Abstract

A case of double optic pit is presented with minimal macular involvement but with an extensive wedge-shaped area of choroidal dystrophy in the nasal fundus. This wedge-shaped area of dystrophy is ophthalmoscopically and fluoroangiographically similar to the lesions of choroidal infarction. As however, it is situated near the nasal pit it might be the result of an unnoticed serous detachement related to the presence of the pit.
