A Rare Case of Symptomatic Double Optic Disc Pit without Maculopathy

Abstract EN

Optic disc pits are an uncommon congenital abnormality.

Patients remain asymptomatic unless they develop maculopathy.

We present a rare case of a double optic disc pit of which only three others have been reported worldwide.

A 51-year-old gentleman presented with blurred vision.

Fundoscopy revealed a right double optic disc pit.

Though he was symptomatic there was no evidence of maculopathy.

OCT of macula and disc was otherwise unremarkable.

Visual field demonstrated a paracentral defect.

Although optic disc pits are rare they are still an important clinical entity.

Prompt identification and treatment of complications are required to prevent a poor visual prognosis.
