Abstract

The aim of this case series was to report and discuss the clinical, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of four eyes of three cases with optic disc pit (ODP)-related serous macular detachment. Three cases were referred to the retina department of our hospital for decreased visual acuities in four of their eyes. In addition to ophthalmological examinations, OCT and FAF were also performed. ODP-related serous macular detachment was detected clinically in all the eyes. OCT also showed two typical components named as ‘bilaminar structure’ in all eyes and OCT and FAF photography showed precipitates in the retinal outer layers of the detachment area in three eyes. OCT and autofluorescence photography findings can support clinical observations in the diagnosis of ODP-related maculopathy.
