Overview
- What this topic covers
Introduction
How these anomalies behave and why they matter
- The general picture
- How affected children present
Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH)
The commonest congenital optic nerve anomaly
- Optic nerve hypoplasia: the under-built disc
- Small, pale disc with a double-ring sign
- Anomalous retinal vessel pattern (monochromatic view)
- What vision and testing reveal
- Superior segmental hypoplasia - a special variant
- The brain connections behind ONH
- Axial MRI of the brain in optic nerve hypoplasia
- Axial MRI showing midline cerebral structures
- Why it happens and who is at risk
- Hormones, development and management
Optic Disc Coloboma
A scooped-out defect of the lower disc
- Optic disc coloboma: the notched-out disc
- Excavated optic disc coloboma
- Complications, associations and causes
Morning Glory Disc Anomaly
A funnel-shaped disc that looks like a flower
- Morning glory disc anomaly
- Morning glory disc anomaly
- Systemic links you must not miss
Peripapillary Staphyloma
A deep pit around a near-normal disc
- Peripapillary staphyloma
- Deep peripapillary excavation, disc at its base
- Peripapillary excavation on fundus examination
- Cause and associations
Optic Disc Pit and Megalopapilla
A small crater, and an oversized disc
- Optic disc pit
- Optic disc pit
- Optic pit and serous retinal detachment
- Megalopapilla - the oversized disc
Congenital Tilted Disc Syndrome
A disc that sits on a slant
- Congenital tilted disc syndrome
- Congenital tilted optic disc
Optic Disc Drusen
Lumpy deposits that mimic a swollen disc
