Peripapillary myelinated nerve fibers and the decreased visual acuity

Objective & Hypothesis:Myelinated nerve fibere is a fundus anomaly which can be seen in different forms such as peripapillery myelinated fibres which can be confused with papillary stasis or excessive myelinization, starting from optic nerve and lying towards the periphery.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Sometimes unilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated nerve fibers can be seen together with anisometropic myopia, strabismus and decreased vision.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:In this article three cases with extensive myelinated nerve fiber, amblyopia, strabismus and/or high myopia are presented.

Abstract

Myelinated nerve fibere is a fundus anomaly which can be seen in different forms such as peripapillery myelinated fibres which can be confused with papillary stasis or excessive myelinization, starting from optic nerve and lying towards the periphery. Sometimes unilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated nerve fibers can be seen together with anisometropic myopia, strabismus and decreased vision. Also macular lesions may accompany these symptoms. In this article three cases with extensive myelinated nerve fiber, amblyopia, strabismus and/or high myopia are presented.

Özet

Myelinli sinir lifleri, papil stazt ile karışabilen peripapiller myelinli lifler veya optik sinirden başlayıp perifere uzanan aşırı myelinizasyona kadar değişik şekillerde görülebilen bir fundus anomalisidir. Bazen tek taraflı yaygın peripapilier myelin sinir lifi ile anizometropik miyopi, şaşılık, görme azalması birlikte görülebilir. Fundus patolojisi ile birlikte olan bu olgularda yoğun ambliyopi tedavisine rağmen görme prognozu iyi değildir. Bu bulgulara maküla bozuklukları eşlik edebilir. Bu makale de aşırı myelinli sinir lifi, ambliyopi, şaşılık ve/veya yüksek miyopi olan 3 olgu sunulmuştur.
