SWEPT SOURCE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING OF THE OPTIC PIT COMPLEX

Optic disc pit maculopathy is associated with a spectrum of deep optic nerve abnormalities, collectively termed the optic pit complex. The combination of laminar disruption, cavitations, and multiple anatomical conduits for fluid ingress broadens the morphologic understanding of this condition. Swept source optical coherence tomography enables visualization of structures not accessible by ophthalmoscopy and may improve diagnostic precision, guide treatment decisions, and clarify the diverse mechanisms contributing to fluid accumulation in optic disc pit maculopathy.
