Abstract
We studied a case of congenital optic disk pit and coloboma with associated malformations of the retinal vessels. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and fluorescein angiography were performed. Multiple retinal venous anastomoses associated with a congenital coloboma and pit of the optic disk were observed. The retinal vascular anomalies extended from the optic disk to the temporal periphery. We consider the coexistence of retinal venous anastomoses with optic disk coloboma and pit to be an extremely rare congenital retinal anomaly.
