TL;DR: The purpose of this presentation is to emphasize the frequent occurrence of characteristic paracentral and central visual field defects and disturbances in the macular area in patients with crater-like holes in the optic disc.
Abstract: Pits, or crater-like holes in the optic disc, are now and then met as a peculiar finding in ophthalmoscopy. Reis (1908) estimated the frequency of this abnormal picture to be as low as 1 case to every 11,000 patients visiting the ophthalmologist. Since 1882, when Wiethe published the first case, at varying intervals reports of similar cases have appeared. From the literature, covering the 75 years after Wiethe's publication, we were able to gather the descriptions of 123 cases of crater-like holes in the optic disc. To these we added 24 cases of our own. As our title indicates, it is the purpose of this presentation to emphasize the frequent occurrence of characteristic paracentral and central visual field defects and disturbances in the macular area in these patients. Data from the Literature Practically all authors agree about the characteristic picture of these holes, which in French are calledfossettes colobomateuses

TL;DR: The normal process of age-related posterior vitreous detachment as viewed by OCT is reviewed, including vitreomacular traction syndrome, cystoid macular edema/ diabetic macular education, epiretinal membranes, full thickness macular holes, lamellar holes, pseudoholes, microholes, and schisis from myopia or optic pits/colobomas are reviewed.

TL;DR: A rational approach to achieving a permanent cure for cavitary optic disc maculopathy can be explained only by considering the pressure gradients that develop along anomalous communications between intraocular and extraocular spaces.

TL;DR: It is found that silicone oil, implanted into an eye that developed proliferative vitreoretinopathy after surgery for optic pit-related macular detachment, has migrated into the subarachnoid space.
Abstract: The origin of subretinal fluid in eyes with optic pit remains controversial. Case report. The authors found that silicone oil, implanted into an eye that developed proliferative vitreoretinopathy after surgery for optic pit-related macular detachment, has migrated into the subarachnoid space. As this case shows, cerebrospinal fluid may migrate into the submacular space in eyes with optic pits.
