Three Dimensional Evaluation of Posterior Pole and Optic Nerve Head in Tilted Disc

Abstract For over a century, tilted disc syndrome (TDS) has been defined vaguely. The lack of consensus of the terminology arises from the lack of understanding of the pathogenesis of this condition. Also, myopic discs with temporal crescents or peripapillary atrophy (PPA) are histologically indisti...

Therefore, we examined the morphological background of the extreme ONH appearances such as the myopic tilted disc and the TDS by analyzing the posterior segment of the eye from a three-dimensional (3D) perspective. 107 eyes of 107 subjects were classified into 3 groups with respect to the optic disc torsion degrees: (1) mild torsion (0–30 degrees; 35 eyes) and (2) moderate torsion (30–60 degrees; 35 eyes) and (3) severe torsion (60–90 degrees; 37 eyes).

In conclusion, we describe specific types of posterior sclera configuration that corresponds to the increasing degree of optic disc torsion, even in the extreme ONH appearances such as the myopic tilted disc and the TDS.
