Uveal colobomas with pseudo-duplication of the optic disc in both eyes: imaging by ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography: a case report

Abstract

Background Duplication of the optic disc is a rare phenomenon. Differentiating between true duplication and pseudo-duplication requires a comprehensive set of diagnostic procedures. Advancements in imaging provide new insights into this condition. Case presentation This report details a unique case involving an 8-year-old Han Chinese girl diagnosed with uveal colobomas and pseudo-duplication of the optic disc in both eyes. The extensive multimodal examination included assessments of vision, fundus examination, fundus photography, B-scan ultrasonography, ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography, fundus fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence, and magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion Ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography proves to be a vital tool for examining and monitoring uveal colobomas with pseudo-duplication of the optic disc.
