“…Non-glaucomatous cupping has been described to varying degrees in patients with compressive lesions of the visual pathway, hereditary optic neuropathies, ischemic optic neuropathy or CRAO, optic neuritis, toxic optic neuropathy, radiation optic neuropathy and neurodegenerative diseases. 1 Although the cupping in most neurologic diseases may look different than typical glaucomatous cupping, it is our experience that in the ophthalmologic community these are more than occasionally confused.…”

“…Thinning of the neural rim was only 47% specific for glaucoma. 1 Additionally, cupping often occurs coincidental to or even long after the visual loss in patients with neurologic disease in contrast to glaucoma where cupping precedes the visual loss.…”

“…Entretanto, algumas neuropatias ópticas não glaucomatosas podem ocasionalmente levar a um aumento da relação E/D, mesmo com pressão intra-ocular dentro dos limites normais (3) incluindo: a neuropatia óptica isquêmica anterior forma arterítica (4) , a neuropatia por aumento fusiforme da arté-ria carótida intracraniana, neuropatias ópticas hereditárias (5) e lesões compressivas da via óptica anterior (6) . Todas estas condições podem levar à confusão diagnóstica com glaucoma, dependendo da experiência do examinador (1) .…”

“…Assim, pacientes jovens, redução importante da AV, defeitos de CV respeitando a linha média vertical e palidez da rima neurorretiniana devem levar à suspeita de compressão da via óptica anterior, mesmo quando existe escavação do disco óptico (9) . Outros autores através de análise estereofotográficas do disco óptico investigaram as características que ajudariam a distinguir entre escavação glaucomatosa e não glaucomatosa (3) . Os resultados sugeriram que a palidez da rima neurorretiniana é um sinal altamente específico (94%) para neuropatia óptica não glaucomatosa e que o afilamento completo (focal ou difuso) da rima neurorretiniana é específico para o glaucoma.…”
