BELTRAN SAINZ, Raisa Ivis et al. Optic nerve head pit-associated maculopathy. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.3, pp. 482-491. ISSN 1561-3070.

A literature review was made to expand knowledge on the optic nerve head pit-related maculopathy, its physiopathology and main manifestations, clinical and angiographic diagnosis, optical coherence tomography, and to describe some of the treatments recently used worldwide. The current therapeutic tendencies were taken into account. The fundamental sources of information were scientific articles from journals in PubMED and Cochrane databases as well as basic texts which dealt with this topic in the last five years through Google search engine. Despite the rare occurrence of the disease, its management may be difficult particularly in macular effect cases. This paper confirmed that most of the studies used small samples, were retrospective, non-comparative and non-randomized. However, some therapeutic modalities were found, which have been used for years and also descriptions of new techniques that require further research. There is no consensus on the ideal treatment protocol for this disease.

Keywords : optic nerve head pit; optic nerve head pit-associated maculopathy; optical coherence tomography.
