  • Title: Optic disc coloboma associated with macular hole and retinal detachment.
    Author: Biedner B, Klemperer I, Dagan M, Yassur Y.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1993 Sep; 25(9):350-2. PubMed ID: 8297073.
    Abstract:
    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.
