Abstract: Congenital excavated optic disc anomalies includes optic disc pit, optic nerve coloboma, morning glory sysdrome, peripapillary staphyloma. In the past time, the diagonosis and efficacy evaluation of these diseases mainly depended on the fundus photography, fundus fluorescence angiography and ultrasonic examination. With the developmemt of ophthalmic imaging technology (OCT), especially in recent years, enhance depth imaging\|spectrum domain OCT (EDI\|SD OCT) and swept\|source OCT (SSOCT) have significantly improved the scanning depth, breadth and imaging clarity. We have a further understanding of morphological features and complications of these disease, and comparative analysis among these different diseases has also deepened our understanding of the mechanism of congenital abnormalities in optic disc.
