RESUMO
Doubling of the optic disc is rare in clinic, which appears as true doubling or pseudo-doubling. Bilateral doubling of the optic discs is even more less seen in clinic. Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented to the clinic for a physical examination. The patient's best-corrected visual acuity was 0.6 OD with +2.25 DS/3.50 DC×175°, and 0.9 OS with -3.00 DS/0.50 DC×145°. The intraocular pressure of each eye was normal. Fundoscopy examination revealed an enlarged suspected optic disc in both eyes. Visual field examination revealed an additional blind spot in each eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis showed a normal macular thickness and profile. B-scan ultrasound revealed a single optic nerve shadow in each eye. Cranial computed tomography (CT) showed only 1 optic foramen and 1 optic nerve in each eye. Although double-blind spots were demonstrated by visual field examination, and pits in both optic disc regions for both eyes were shown by OCT, it was not enough to support the diagnosis of true doubling of the optic disc. Consequently, the diagnosis of bilateral pseudo-doubling of optic discs was made based on the clinical evidence, leading to the consideration of possible causality of other ophthalmic diseases.
