[Double optic papilla in eye coloboma (author's transl)]

Abstract

The article reports on a 4-year-old girl with multiple congenital malformations. Ophthalmological examination revealed microphthalmia, bilateral colobomas of iris, leukoma of the right eye, convergent strabismus in the left eye. An oval salmon-coloured area was seen at the fundus of the left eye where the retinal vessesl proceed into the depth. There was no vascular infundibulum. A papilla-like cavity was seen at the bottom left of the coloboma (possibly a circulus zinnii, also called circulus vasculosus nervi optici, may be present). Both papillae are connected with each other by means of a vein. This patient, therefore, presented an extremely rare case of malformation with two papillae in one coloboma.
