N2  - PURPOSE: To present a symptomatic optic pit 3 months after a blunt ocular trauma. METHODS: A 16-year-old male with unilateral decreased vision was examined with multiple cross-sectional scans using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and kinetic ultrasound at the optic disc and macula. RESULTS: Visual acuity was 20/30 OD and 20/20 OS. Fundus examination OD demonstrated an optic pit with a corresponding serous macular detachment. OCT disclosed a schisis-like separation of the inner retinal layer emanating from the optic disc and an outer layer detachment of the retina. B-scan ultrasound disclosed attached Choquet's canal at the optic pit. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with optic pit and firm adherent posterior vitreous may develop schisis-like retinal detachments after blunt ocular trauma.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
