Optic Disc Cupping All Over

Various pathogenic mechanisms are known to produce optic atrophy. In many instances, diagnosis can be readily established by combining information from history, functional evaluation, clinical examination including assessment of optic disc morphology, and ancilliary testing. Occasionally, a patient may present with a cupped optic disc reminding of glaucomatous optic neuropathy in whom a different mechanism than glaucoma is responsible for the resulting optic neuropathy.
