The Tilted Disk Syndrome

Evaluation of peripapillary choroidal and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in eyes with tilted optic disc

“…The most common form of tilted disc in our study was inferonasal disc rotation with superotemporal rim elevation, which is similar to previous reports (1,5,14) . We found that a significant difference exists in the choroidal thickness between the elevated and depressed sectors of the optic disc, in which there is a thinner choroid next to the depressed part of the disc.…”

Analyses of shape of eyes and structure of optic nerves in eyes with tilted disc syndrome by swept-source optical coherence tomography and three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging

“…1,6 Young and associates examined one autopsy eye histologically and reported that the sclera appeared thinner below than above, suggesting an inferior ectasia. 7 The optic disc abnormalities in TDS have been mainly analyzed by ophthalmoscopic examinations. A PubMed search using keywords 'tilted disc' and 'optical coherence tomography (OCT)' on 2 October 2012 extracted 13 articles.…”

The relationship between the cornea and the optic disc

“…2 Other researchers have reported that a tilted disc may be caused by the closure of an imperfect embryonic fissure and that corneal astigmatism may result from the influence of genetic factors on the development of the cornea in tilted disc syndrome patients. [3][4][5][6] There have been many reports on the relationship between the central corneal thickness and the optic nerve and glaucoma. Some studies have reported that thin corneas may have an association with weak optic nerve heads and that this may be related to a thin lamina cribrosa.…”
