| Description |
An optic pit is a round or oval, gray, white, or yellowish depression in the optic disc. Wiethe first described two black depressions with an olive-gray tint within the optic disc of a 62-year-old woman. Early investigators labeled these depressions as colobomas, crater-like holes, congenital holes, and congenital pits. Reis estimated the frequency of optic pits to be approximately 1 in 11,000a figure later confirmed by Kranenburg. Numerous reports of familial optic pits suggest an autosomal-dominant mode of transmission. |
