The mechanisms underlying optic disc pit maculopathy remain controversial, and treatment guidelines are unclear. To our knowledge, this is the first description of an OPDM treated with a combination systemic mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor as adjuvant therapy to vitrectomy with favorable outcomes. We also review the literature and propose mechanisms through which these treatment entities may act.
