- Abstract
Optic disc pit is an excavation of the optic disc that usually develops congenital or rarely acquired, mostly located in the inferotemporal part of the disc. It is usually asymptomatic but sometimes might be symptomathic with maculopathy development. It is not well known at how much the optic pituitary influences the optic nerve structure or how it leads to other pathologic susceptibilities. In this case report, a patient with diabetic retinopathy who had unilateral optic pit and advanced disc neovascularization in the same eye was examined.
