    abstract = "Purpose: To investigate the pattern of congenital optic disk pits
associated with maculopathy using indocyanine green angiography (ICG)
and fluorescein angiography (FA).
Methods: Seventeen consecutive patients with unilateral congenital optic
disk pit complicated by maculopathy were prospectively enrolled in the
study. Complete ophthalmologic examination, color stereophotography,
red-free photography, FA, and ICG angiography were performed on all
patients during their first examination in our department.
Results: Absolute hypofluorescence of the optic disk pit was noted in
all eyes on ICG angiography. On the contrary, all eyes showed early
hypofluorescence and late staining of the optic pit on FA. All 17 eyes
presented a delineated late hyperfluorescence corresponding to the area
of macular elevation on both ICG angiography and FA. The intensity of
the hyperfluorescence was milder in cases with long-standing
maculopathy.
Conclusion: imaging of congenital optic disk pits associated or not with
macular elevation using ICG angiography has not been reported in the
literature. The increased hyperfluorescence in the late phases of the
macular elevation in the studied eyes could be attributed to leakage of
indocyanine or fluorescein dye into the schisis cavity and the
subretinal fluid."
