Objective:
To study the clinical aspects of multiple optic papilla.
Clinical Observation:
We present 2 cases with multiple optic papilla. First case, with an aspect of duplicated double papilla, where at the supranumerary papilla we noticed a cilioretinal artery. The second case, with pseudo-double papilla, in context of a medium myopia, with visualization of the choroidal circulation.
Discussions And Conclusions:
The diagnosis of multiple optic papilla is difficult. Its support requires the presence of multiple conditions: double papillary margins, central vascularization with separate emergence, synchronous vascular pulsation, imagistic and morphopathologic arguments. So far no clinical case with those required conditions was ever published.
