Abstract

Optic disc pit is a congenital anomaly of the optic disc which is usually asymptomatic, but some patients can develop optic disc pit maculopathy at some stage of life. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is an abnormal growth of blood vessels into the neurosensory retina from choroidal vessels. Although CNV is not commonly seen in the pediatric age group, there are certain optic nerve head anomalies, like optic disc pit, optic nerve drusen, optic nerve head cavity abnormalities, etc., which are associated with CNV in children. Here, we present a 13-year-old girl who was diagnosed with CNV in association with optic disc pit. She was given intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections. CNV got improved after anti-VEGF injections, along with significant improvement in vision.
