Pseudoduplication of the optic disc in moderate myopia.

We report a case of optic disc pseudoduplication without pathological myopia. A 79-year-old woman presented with gradually decreased vision. Fundus examination showed macular drusen in both eyes and subretinal haemorrhage in the left eye. Both optic discs appeared to be tilted and the left optic disc was seen to be inferiorly duplicated. Pseudodoubling of the optic discs can be caused by optic disc and peripapillary chorioretinal colobomas and pathological myopia. Considering that our patient did not have enough axial length to merit a diagnosis of pathological myopia and no pathological fundus lesions typical of elongated sclera, we suggest that acquired pseudoduplication is not a condition unique to pathological myopia, but can occur in all myopic patients. The clinical materials, including ophthalmological examination, fundus fluorescent angiography and MRI scan of the orbit, were reported, and its pertinent literatures were reviewed.
