Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Imaging
- Retinal Diseases
Background:
- Optic disc pseudoduplication (pseudo-doubling) is a rare condition characterized by an optic disc-like lesion adjacent to the optic nerve head.
- Most reported cases are associated with optic disc or chorioretinal coloboma, making atypical presentations uncommon.
- Understanding the etiology of optic disc pseudoduplication is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.
