Pseudo-Duplication of the Optic Nerve Head
Abstract
Doubling of optic disc is a rare condition. It is seen either as true doubling or pseudo-doubling. We report a patient who came for the treatment of traumatic third nerve palsy of the right eye. During evaluation of the patient, bilateral chorioretinal coloboma along with pseudo-duplication of the right optic disc was seen as an incidental finding.
