A 15 years old girl presented to us with diminution of vision within 4 days of onset. The child underwent relevant investigations and a diagnosis of optic disc pit maculopathy (OPD-M) was made. The parents refused surgical intervention and so we started the child on oral acetazolamide. She was kept under repeated and close follow-ups. We noticed rapid resolution of optic disc pit maculopathy within 2 months of presentation with complete visual recovery. Oral acetazolamide was tapered during the course of 2 months. We conclude that although numerous treatment modalities have been described for optic disc pit maculopathy, a trial of oral acetazolamide can be offered in cases of optic disc pit maculopathy in paediatric patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
