Optic disc coloboma associated with macular hole and retinal detachment.
A 15-year-old myopic girl had a retinal detachment associated with optic disc coloboma and a macular hole. The retinal detachment was treated successfully with vitrectomy, drainage of the subretinal fluid, and gas tamponade. The possibility of a macular hole should be investigated in myopic eyes with optic disc colobomas and retinal detachments. To the best of our knowledge, such a combination has not been described previously.
