Abstract

Purpose: To present an unusual case of optic disc pseudoduplication with colobomata.

Results: Optic disc duplication is a rare clinical entity.

Conclusions: We report what we believe to be the first case of pseudoduplication of the optic disc with coexistent bilateral optic disc colobomata.
