Description Developmental abnormalities of the optic disc frequently herald the presence of additional malformations within the brain. A classification system for developmental optic disc abnormalities is valuable because many optic disc malformations correlate with specific types of malformations with the brain. The modern neuroimaging era has focused on establishing the correlations. The focus of investigation is now shifting toward defining the numerous mechanisms that explain them.
