    True duplication of the optic disc, where two optic nerves are present, is a rare congenital anomaly. This study describes three cases that mimicked this condition, highlighting diagnostic challenges in ophthalmology.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies of the optic disc can present with varied morphology.
    • Distinguishing true optic disc duplication from simulating lesions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Optic disc anomalies can impact visual function and require careful evaluation.

    Observation:

    • Three cases presented with lesions simulating optic disc duplication.
    • Case 1 involved an ectatic peripapillary coloboma, confirmed as a single optic nerve via CT scan.
    • Case 2 showed two optic discs with independent vasculature, one supplying the fovea.
    • Case 3 featured a colobomatous defect with vascular connections to the optic disc.

    Findings:

    • Lesions mimicking optic disc duplication can arise from conditions like ectatic peripapillary colobomas and colobomatous defects.

  • Computer-assisted tomography (CT) is valuable in differentiating true optic nerve duplication from other optic disc anomalies.
  • The presence of separate vascular systems or vascular anastomoses can be key indicators in differentiating these conditions.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate differentiation of optic disc anomalies is essential for appropriate patient counseling and prognosis.
    • Understanding these simulating lesions improves diagnostic accuracy in pediatric ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology.
    • Further research into the embryogenesis of optic disc anomalies can refine our understanding of ocular development.
