Acquired hyperopia with choroidal folds, a rare eye condition, often presents with posterior pole flattening. Magnetic resonance imaging best visualizes the perineural space, aiding diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuro-ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Acquired hyperopia with choroidal folds is an uncommon condition.
  • It is typically benign and characterized by specific ocular findings.

Observation:

  • The condition classically involves posterior pole flattening.
  • Variable optic nerve complex enlargement and a space between the optic nerve and its sheath are noted.

Findings:

  • The perineural space is optimally visualized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • This case highlights the utility of MRI in diagnosing this condition.

Implications:

  • Lumbar puncture is recommended to rule out increased intracranial pressure, even without papilledema.
