====== Megalopapilla ====== * aka Megalodisc * Congenital anomalous enlarged optic disc area > 2.5 mm² * Not associated with other morphologic anormalities * High prevalence in natives of Marshall Islands * May be unilateral or bilateral * Large optic cup with central pallor given the axons more thinly spread over the disc surface * No treatment needed ===== Heidelberg OCT measurements ===== * see reference 1 below ==== Nerve Areas ==== ^ Parameter ^ Mean ^ SD ^ Range ^ | Disc area (mm²) | 3.28 | 0.53 | 2.50-5.03 | | Cup area (mm²) | 1.65 | 0.5 | 0.38-2.85 | | Rim area (mm²) | 1.63 | 0.37 | 0.84-2.73 | | Cup/disc ratio area | 0.70 | 0.86 | 0.35-0.85 | ==== Nerve fiber layer thickness ==== ^ OCT measure ^ Mean ^ SD ^ Range ^ | Average thickness (μm) | 102.51 | 12.68 | 58.41-120.25 | | Superior thickness (μm) | 130.84 | 20.18 | 57.00-169.00 | | Nasal thickness (μm) | 79.67 | 15.80 | 49.00-117.00 | | Inferior thickness (μm) | 128.27 | 18.89 | 65.00-157.00 | | Temporal thickness (μm) | 70.79 | 8.46 | 55.00-92.00 | ====== References ====== - {{::optic_disc_and_retinal_nerve_fiber_layer_thickness_descriptive_analysis_in_megalopapilla.pdf |Costa AMC et al.
