A SYNDROME OF EXTENSIVE PERIPAPILLARY MYELINATED NERVE FIBRES, HIGH IPSILATERAL MYOPIA AND REFRACTORY AMBYLOPIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 49
Abstract
Myelinated retinal nerve fibers are rare developmental anomalies present in 0.5- 1% of all eyes. Occur due to myelination of ganglion cells beyond the lamina cribrosa during embryonic development. Reports of amblyopia associated with myelinated nerve fibers have been reported in the ophthalmologic literature. We report a case of 16 yr boy presenting with triad of peripapillary myelinated nerve fibre, u/l high myopia and amblyopia.
