Wide-Field Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography of Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy Demonstrates Connection Between
Abstract:
The source of subretinal or intraretinal fluid in patients with optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) remains unclear and is often thought to be either vitreous or cerebrospinal fluid.1 Here, we present the case of a 40-year-old man who developed ODP-M. Further imaging with wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography demonstrated that the macular fluid was tracking from a nasal optic disc pit with superonasal communication to the vitreous. This suggests that swept-source optical coherence tomography can be a useful tool for determining the origin of macular fluid in patients with ODP-M. [.
