Condion 33
This view is of the opc disc and surrounding rena
The main clinical features are:
• Tortuous blood vessels, both veins and ar-
teries, emanang from the opc disc
• There are no other lesions such as haemor-
rhages or hard exudates
• The disc margins are normal
This diagnosis is consistent with:
MEDUSA HEAD OPTIC DISC (This is a normal variant)
Comment:
The tortuous blood vessels are a normal variant. No symptoms are expected. The disc
margins are normal and the striking appearance should not be confused with condions
such as Papilloedema or New Vessels at the Disc or New Vessels Elsewhere.
Condion 34
This view is of the opc disc and surrounding rena
The main clinical features are:
• Marked crescent around the opc disc
• The renal vessels appear to be normal
• The choroidal vessels are visible
This diagnosis is consistent with:
OPTIC DISC CRESCENT IN A PATIENT WITH HIGH MYOPIA
Comment:
Marked crescent around the opc disc due to stretching of the eyeball around the opc
disc. There is oen exposed renal pigment epithelium at this site making the crescent even
more pronounced. The choroidal blood vessels are more pronounced due to thinning of the
renal structures.
