Purpose: To evaluate the presence and the evolution of cyst formation in
optic disc pit maculopathy. Methods: In this prospective study, 18 cases
with optic disc pit maculopathy were studied. Five of them showed cyst
formation in the fovea at the initial examination. The fundus findings
were documented with slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy,
and stereoscopic photography of the posterior pole. All 5 patients were
treated with a macular scleral buckle procedure. Results: The presence
of cysts in the elevated macula depends on the grade of the disease.
Cyst formation can develop not only in the later stage of the disease
but also quite early. In all 5 patients cyst formation gradually
decreased and finally disappeared after the surgical procedure.
Conclusions: Cyst formation is an entity which accompanies the macular
detachment associated with optic disc pit. The development of the cysts
has been noticed after the establishment of the schisis-like separation
and before or in conjunction with the formation of a lamellar macular
hole which usually accompanies the optic disc pit maculopathy.
