| History: An incidental finding of a patient with
bilateral myelinated nerve fibres. The myelination appears
white with feathery edges. Normally, myelination of the optic nerve stops at lamina cribosa but in some normal people it can extend onto the retina. Myelination if present often occurs around the optic disc but may be found anywhere on the retina. Visual fields in this patient will be expected to show increased blind spots as the myelination prevents light falling on the photoreceptors. |
