Regression of myelinated retinal nerve fibers in a case of primary open-angle glaucoma
Sellem E; Poli MJournal Français d'Ophtalmologie 2017; 40: 1-3
Myelinated retinal nerve fibers observed rarely on ocular fundus examination, usually adjacent to the optic disc, are known to be stable throughout life. However, the possibility of rarefaction, and even disappearance, of these myelinated fibers has been pointed out in very rare cases of ocular or neuro-ophthalmological pathologies. We report such a regression, identified after a six-year period, in one case of primary open-angle glaucoma.
