Background:
Tilted disc syndrome is a common condition which is usually associated with an inferior staphyloma.
Materials And Methods:
Observational case report.
Results:
An 82-year-old woman presented with features typical of tilted disc syndrome, as well as chorioretinal folds orientated radially to the upper edge of the inferior staphyloma.
Conclusion:
The orientation of the folds suggested that the progressive increase of the inferior staphyloma exerted traction on the RPE, Bruch's membrane and choriocapillaris complex, leading to chorioretinal folds radiating from the upper edge of the staphyloma.
