Abstract
Purpose:
We studied a case of congenital optic disk pit and coloboma with associated malformations of the retinal vessels.
Methods:
Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and fluorescein angiography were performed.
Results:
Multiple retinal venous anastomoses associated with a congenital coloboma and pit of the optic disk were observed. The retinal vascular anomalies extended from the optic disk to the temporal periphery.
Conclusions:
We consider the coexistence of retinal venous anastomoses with optic disk coloboma and pit to be an extremely rare congenital retinal anomaly.
