POLA ALVARADO, Lester et al. Clinical and radiological correlation of excavated congenital anomalies of the optic disk. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.2, pp.345-351. ISSN 0864-2176.

Introducción: the diagnosis of excavated congenital anomalies of the optic nerve has benefitted from the introduction and development of radiological techniques, mainly in atypical cases or those with others related ocular disorders, where the clinical exam is not conclusive. Clincal case: Here is a patient with a congenital optic nerve anomaly. The clinical and radiological characteristics that explain the differential diagnosis of this case were discussed. Emphasis was made on the fact that patients with these anomalies and no specific fundus features must be evaluated by both ophthalmologists and radiologists. Conclusions: the right nosological diagnosis assures the appropriate orientation towards others related systemic associations and inheritance patterns, if any.
