    A rare double optic pit case showed extensive nasal choroidal dystrophy, resembling choroidal infarction. This condition may stem from unnoticed serous detachment linked to the optic pit.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Choroidal Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Optic pits are congenital anomalies of the optic nerve head.
    • Double optic pits are rare variations, with limited documented cases.
    • Macular involvement can occur, but is not always present.

    Observation:

    • A case of double optic pit was identified.
    • Minimal macular involvement was noted.
    • An extensive, wedge-shaped area of choroidal dystrophy was observed in the nasal fundus.

    Findings:

    • The nasal choroidal dystrophy exhibited characteristics similar to choroidal infarction on ophthalmoscopy and fluoroangiography.
    • The location of the dystrophy near the nasal optic pit suggests a potential link.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest a possible etiology for the observed choroidal dystrophy, potentially related to serous detachment secondary to the optic pit.
    • This case expands the understanding of optic pit-associated complications.
    • Further research may clarify the relationship between optic pits and choroidal vascular changes.
