  • Title: Optic disc imaging by Heidelberg retinal tomogram in congenital optic disc anomaly.
    Author: Kunjam V, Sekhar GC.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2004 Jun; 52(2):149-51. PubMed ID: 15283221.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated two cases of congenital optic disc anomaly with the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph (HRT) that could be mistaken for glaucomatous optic disc. One was an optic disc coloboma with a visual field defect and the other had an optic disc pit without a visual field defect. HRT was abnormal only in the eye with optic disc pit with normal fields. While HRT can be a valuable adjunct to disc evaluation and follow-up, it cannot be used in isolation in the differentiation of abnormal from normal optic discs.
