Abnormal vitreous structure in optic nerve pit
Jpn J Ophthalmol.
1997 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
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.
