Abstract

A 6-year-old boy with a complaint of blurred vision for two months was referred to our clinic. His visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed optic disc pit maculopathy in the right eye. The patient was followed for 6 months without any treatment. At the end of the 6-month period, the patient’s visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. The OCT imaging showed spontaneous regression of the optic disc pit maculopathy. In this case report, it is concluded that in children, spontaneous regression of the optic pit maculopathy with full recovery of visual acuity is possible. The development of optic pit maculopathy in childhood is rare and there are not enough studies on the treatment methods. Therefore, our case report may be helpful in the management of similar cases of pediatric optic disc maculopathy.

Özet

Altı yaşında erkek hasta 2 aydır olan bulanık görme şikayeti ile başvurdu. Görme keskinliği sağda 20/32, solda 20/20 idi. Maküla optikkoherens tomografi (OKT) görüntülerinde optik pit ilişkili makülopati saptandı. Altı ay tedavisiz takip edildi. Altı ay sonunda hastanıngörme keskinliği her iki gözünde 20/20 düzeyindeydi. OKT bulgularında düzelme mevcuttu. Bu olgu sunumunda, çocuklarda, optik pitmakülopatisinin, görme keskinliğinde tam düzelme ile spontan olarak gerilemesinin mümkün olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Optik pitmakülopatisinin çocukluk döneminde görülmesi oldukça nadirdir ve bu hastaların tedavileri ile ilgili yeterli çalışma yoktur. Olgumuzbenzer hastaların tedavi ve takibinde literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır.
