Overview
There is described a rare case of a congenital optic disc pit of the 20-years old manthat was accompanied by a cyst-like change in the macula with serous retinaldetachment. Visual impairment in his right eye was treated with pars-plana-vit-rectomy with surgical posterior vitreous detachment and gas tamponade. Aftertemporary pneumatic displacement of the subretinal fluid inferiorly the correctedvisual acuity improved to 6/9. Schisislike changes persisted in the macular area.Our findings could support the view on the two-layer structure of optic disk pitmaculopathy and an important role of tangential vitreous traction in the patho-genesis of the central retinal detachment.
