Abstract

We describe a case of a healthy lady with a known optic disc pit who developed serous maculopathy a few hours after childbirth. We believe this is the first published description of a trigger factor responsible for serous macular detachment in eyes known to have a disc pit. She was successfully treated by means of pars plana vitrectomy and gas injection, resulting in slight visual improvement.
