Optic pit, optic nerve pit, or optic disc pit (ODP) is rare a congenital excavation (or regional depression) of the optic disc (also optic nerve head), resulting from a malformation during development of the eye.[1] The incidence of ODP is 1 in 10,000 people with no predilection for either gender.[1] There is currently no known risk factors for their development.[2] Optic pits are important because they are associated with posterior vitreous detachments (PVD) and even serous retinal detachments.
