Abstract

We present a patient with concurrent pigmentary glaucoma, bilateral central serous
chorioretinopathy and unilateral optic disc pit, and propose a possible association of these conditions.
Comprehensive ophthalmic examination of a 36-year-old man who was complaining of blurry
vision and pain in the eyes showed reduced visual acuity on the left eye, elevated intraocular pressure
in the right eye, bilateral signs of pigment dispersion syndrome, and bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy,
combined with optic disc pit in the left eye. Visual field and optical coherence tomography
findings demonstrated functional and structural glaucoma changes. Choroidal circulation abnormalities
were observed by angiographic methods. Genetic and developmental anomalies of the external
layer of the optic disc cup that gives rise to many anterior and posterior eye segment structures suggest
a possible association of a clinical condition characterized by the combination of pigmentary glaucoma,
central serous chorioretinopathy and optic disc pit. Future research would enable to determine
proper diagnostic protocols, treatment and follow-up procedures for this chronic-progressive disorder.
