Rare association of optic disk pits with myelinated retinal nerves.

We report the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented for a routine change of glasses. On slit-lamp examination, no abnormality was detected; however, dilated fundus examination revealed profuse myelination of the retinal nerves around the disk of the right eye along with an optic disk pit inferotemporally. The left eye fundus also had an optic disk pit inferotemporally but no associated myelination. Visual acuity was 6/9 in each eye, and the patient had no other ocular or systemic complaints. To our knowledge, cooccurrence of myelinated retinal nerves and optic disk pits in the same eye, has not been previously reported.
