ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness (RNFL) of amblyopic and normal fellow eyes. Design: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational case series. Methods: Forty patients age 12 to 41 years (mean 23.73 ± 6.42) with unilateral amblyopia were studied. Among them, 11(28.2%) patients had amblyopia secondary to strabismus and 29(71.8 %) had anisometropic amblyopia. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the peripapillary RNFL thickness of amblyopic and fellow eyes was performed. RNFL thickness measurements were […]

Optic disc drusen (ODD) is the accumulations of calcified hyaline-like material within the substance of the optic nerve head. Optic disc drusen, especially if it is bilateral, may mimic the clinical presentation of papilledema. Usually retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning can be present in ODD. In this report we present uncommon RNFL changes in a patient with bilateral ODD. A 17-year-old male was referred by another center with a diagnosis of optic disc edema. The patient’s visual acuity, the […]

As drusas do disco óptico (DDO) são depósitos de material hialino calcificado dentro da substância da cabeça do nervo óptico. Drusas do disco óptico, especialmente se for bilateral, podem apresentar o quadro clínico de edema de papila. Usualmente o espessamento da camada de fibras nervosas da retina (RCFN) podem estar presentes em DDO. Neste relato apresentamos o caso de um homem com 17 anos de idade que foi encaminhado por um outro centro, com o diagnóstico de edema do disco […]
