Congenital cavitary anomalies of the optic disc that may be associated with serous detachment of the macula include optic disc pit, optic nerve head coloboma, and morning glory disc anomaly. The embryological basis of optic disc pit is not clear but has been attributed to abnormal closure of the embryonic ocular fissure. This report is of a patient with temporal optic nerve pit with serous macular detachment and an outer lamellar macular hole that was treated successfully with internal gas tamponade.
