Optic Disc Melanocytoma |
Description |
A 26-year-old woman was seen for assessment of an asymptomatic optic nerve abnormality in her left eye. Her examination showed normal afferent visual function: visual acuity: 20/30 OD and 20/25 OS; PH 20/20 OU; pupils: no relative afferent pupil defect; color vision: 14/14 plates correct OU. Humphrey visual fields (HVF, 24-2 SITA Fast) show only an enlarged blind spot OS and a normal (though somewhat unreliable) visual field OD. Color photographs centered on the optic discs show a normal right optic disc; the left optic disc shows an elevated, dark, pigmented lesion on the superior aspect of the optic disc consistent with an optic disc melanocytoma. |
