Optic Disc Pit and Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy: a Review

Optic disc pit (ODP), one of the optic disc cavitary anomalies, is generally congenital and unilateral and occurs equally in males and females. Optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) is characterized by intraretinal and subretinal fluid at the macula, causing visual deterioration. The origin of the macular fluid and the mechanism of transition to the subretinal space in ODP-M pathophysiology are not yet fully understood. With the evolution of imaging modalities, especially OCT, our knowledge of this disorder continues to increase.
