Description Optic nerve colobomas appear as enlarged, white optic discs that are deeply excavated, often with some sapring of the superior rim. They result from an abnormal fusion of the proximal embryonic fissure. Optic nerve colobomas occur unilaterally or bilaterally with a similar frequency and can result in a wide range of visual acuities. There is an association with a mutation in the PAX6 gene. Disease/Diagnosis: Coloboma.
