AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explored the clinical features of multiple optic papilla through two case studies.
  • In the first case, a duplicated double papilla was observed along with a cilioretinal artery, while the second case involved a pseudo-double papilla related to medium myopia and visible choroidal circulation.
  • Diagnosing multiple optic papilla poses challenges, as it requires specific criteria, which have yet to be documented in previous clinical cases.

Article Abstract

Objective: To study the clinical aspects of multiple optic papilla.

Clinical Observation: We present 2 cases with multiple optic papilla. First case, with an aspect of duplicated double papilla, where at the supranumerary papilla we noticed a cilioretinal artery. The second case, with pseudo-double papilla, in context of a medium myopia, with visualization of the choroidal circulation.

Discussions And Conclusions: The diagnosis of multiple optic papilla is difficult. Its support requires the presence of multiple conditions: double papillary margins, central vascularization with separate emergence, synchronous vascular pulsation, imagistic and morphopathologic arguments. So far no clinical case with those required conditions was ever published.
