The tilted disk syndrome

S E Young, F B Walsh, D L Knox

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Congenital benign ocular syndrome can be mistaken for serious conditions like papilledema. This syndrome is linked to posterior globe ectasia causing visual field defects.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Science

    Background:

    • A benign ocular syndrome can present with diagnostic challenges.
    • Misdiagnosis can occur when the congenital nature of the syndrome is not recognized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the underlying cause of visual field defects in patients with a specific benign ocular syndrome.
    • To differentiate this syndrome from conditions like papilledema and chiasmal compression.

    Main Methods:

    • Retinoscopy
    • Fluorescein angiography
    • Ocular ultrasonography
    • Histopathology

    Main Results:

    • Diagnostic confusion with papilledema and chiasmal compression was noted in 12 patients.

  • The true congenital nature of the syndrome was often unrecognized.
  • Findings suggested localized staphylomatous ectasia of the posterior globe as the cause of visual field defects.

    • Conclusions:

    • Localized staphylomatous ectasia of the posterior globe is associated with a benign congenital ocular syndrome.
    • Recognizing the congenital nature is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis.
    • This condition can lead to visual field defects that mimic other serious ocular pathologies.
