Optic disk pit has been considered as coloboma located, as a rule, near temporal part of the optic disc. Central serous retinal detachment develops in 50 % of patients. The purpose of the present study was to show practically the possibility to use laser coagulation as an entire method for treatment of optic disc pit complicated by serous neuroepithelial detachment in children. Material and Methods. A patient, 4 y/o, with Jensen's retinochoroiditis juxtapapillaris, optic disc pit and serous neuroepithelial detachment was followed up. The patient was performed 532 nm laser, optical coherent tomography, visiometry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy and immunology research. Results. Visual acuity increased from 0.08 to 0.5 after treatment. Neuroepithelial attachment was achieved with residual detachment up to 40 µm. Conclusions. This case demonstrates that laser coagulation of the retina can be used as a separate and minimally invasive method of treatment for patients with optic disk pits complicated by serous neuroepithelial detachment in pediatric ophthalmology.

The purpose of the review is to show that the ultrasound picture at the initial diagnosis can become decisive for the planned examination and treatment of patients with abdominal abscesses. The article analyzes the possibilities of using the ultrasound method, describes its advantages and disadvantages. The key points related to the formation of an ultrasound picture of cavity formations of various etiologies and localization, their difference from pathological cavity formations of a purulent-destructive nature are considered. The main ultrasound signs of abdominal abscesses of various localization, which play a leading role in the choice of further patient management tactics, are determined.
