Figure 1
Fundus photographs showing initial coursing of vessels supero-nasally and infero-nasally after emerging from the disc (green arrows), instead of supero-temporally and supero-nasally, and then they acutely turned temporally (yellow arrows), which is more prominent in left eye (b) than the right eye (a)
Figure 2
Figure 2
The peculiar pattern of retinal vessels being better appreciated on the superficial capillary plexus slab of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in right (a) and left eye (b)
Figure 3
Figure 3
Cross-sectional OCT of the macula showing hyperreflectivity of the inner retina nasal to the optic discs in both eyes (denoted by yellow arrows), suggestive of nasalization of the papillomacular bundle (a and b). OCT of the optic nerve head showing a thicker nasal retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), thinner temporal RNFL and more nasally-located RNFL peak locations (c and d)
