Ocular Findings Associated With Myelinated Retinal Nerve Fibers

摘要

The?case involves a five-year-old female patient with a?myelinated retinal nerve fiber (MRNF) layer of the right optic disc. Although this is a rare, benign, and often asymptomatic condition, it is sometimes associated with ocular findings which require early detection and treatment. In this case, the patient presented with strabismus, high myopia, and amblyopia. She was found to have myelinated retinal fiber layer lesions of the superotemporal and inferotemporal retina of her right eye. This case report aims to demonstrate the importance of performing a thorough evaluation of MRNF in the pediatric patient as well as to increase awareness of this entity to avoid misdiagnosis.
