Telangiectasis as a cause of intra-schitic haemorrhage in optic disc pit maculopathy.
OBJECTIVE
To present a patient with the novel finding of vascular telangiectasis as a cause of intra-schitic haemorrhage, occurring in optic disc pit-associated maculopathy.


METHODS
A clinical history was detailed. Clinical examination included visual acuity assessment and slit-lamp microscopy. Fluorescein angiography was performed.


RESULTS
A temporal optic disc pit, macular retinoschisis and a circumscribed detachment of the outer retinal layer and inner leaf holes were noted. A retinal haemorrhage extending into the schitic cavity was present, along with an associated vitreous haemorrhage. Fluorescein angiography showed telangiectatic vessels in association with the haemorrhage.


CONCLUSIONS
This is the first reported case of vascular telangiectasis as a cause of intra-schitic haemorrhage occurring in optic disc pit-associated maculopathy.
