Resolution of serous maculopathy associated with optic disk pits and incontinentia pigmenti using oral acetazolamide.

BACKGROUND

Optic disk pits are a congenital optic disk anomaly frequently associated with serous macular detachment.

METHODS

A case of optic disk pits associated with serous maculopathy in a patient with incontinentia pigmenti is presented. The patient was treated with oral acetazolamide.

RESULTS

Over the course of 1 year, treatment with oral acetazolamide resulted in the complete resolution of subretinal fluid and improvement in vision.

CONCLUSION

An association between optic disk pits and incontinentia pigmenti is presented. The case demonstrates the utility of oral acetazolamide in the treatment of serous maculopathy associated with optic disk pits.
