Case report highlights a rare condition of double optic discs with distinct vasculatures, suggesting unique embryonic development.
A true double optic disc with two separate vasculatures is an extremely rare condition. The division of the optic nerve into two distinct fascicles is presumed to occur during early stages of embryonic development. Two separate optic discs or one optic disc with two retinal vasculatures are variants of a true double optic disc. This case report highlights a rare form of a true double optic disc with two retinal vasculatures in the same optic disc cup with multimodal imaging.
