Color fundus photograph of 2 temporal pits within the left optic nerve head of a healthy 29-year-old woman with 20/20 Snellen equivalent visual acuity and normal visual fields (Fig 1A). En face OCT angiography (AngioVue; Optovue) of the optic nerve demonstrating vascular flow within the pits (Fig 1B). Infrared photo (Fig 1C) of the optic nerve clearly defines the pits. The green line denotes the orientation of the scan shown in Figure 1D. High-resolution OCT line scan (Spectralis; Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) through both pits (Fig 1D). (Magnified version of Fig 1A-D is available online at www.aaojournal.org.)
