Ring-shaped myelinated retinal nerve fibers at fovea

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2017 Jul;65(7):630-632. doi: 10.4103/ijo.IJO_120_17.

Abstract

We aim to report an unusual case of myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNFs) at fovea. A 39-year-old woman presented with visual impairment and her visual acuity was 20/80 in the right eye. Ophthalmologic examination revealed MRNF lesions at inferior and superior poles of optic disc in the right eye. Furthermore, a ring-shaped MRNF lesion with feathery edges was observed at fovea. MRNF lesions are rarely seen at macula, and to our knowledge, this is the first report of an MRNF lesion at fovea.
