AN UNUSUAL FUNDUS FINDING IN A PATIENT WITH OPTIC-NERVE PIT SYNDROME

In a study of 12 patients with optic nerve pits, a female patient pres ented an unusual fundus finding in which there were many flat grey-whi te lesions in both eyes. These lesions covered a large area of the fun dus and extended from the posterior pole to the periphery. There was a n optic pit in the right eye and an inferior coloboma in the left eye. The visual acuities and the clinical findings remained unchanged over the follow-up period of 2 years. Fluorescein angiographic and electro physiological examinations suggested that these lesions were probably located at or beneath the retinal pigment epithelium.
