Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defect Associated with Progressive Myopia.
Journal of Glaucoma 2023 March 7
PURPOSE: To report a case with bilateral paravascular inner retinal defects (PIRDs) enlarging with progressive myopia, which had different structural characteristics from glaucomatous retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 10-year-old girl with high myopia was referred to glaucoma clinic for evaluation of RNFL defects shown in color fundus photographs. Fundus photographs and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were serially reviewed to examine the changes in the RNFL.
RESULTS: Cleavage of inner retinal layers involving the layers deeper than the RNFL was identified in OCT, which was appeared and enlarged in both eyes along with progressive myopia and axial elongation during the follow-up period of 8 years.
CONCLUSIONS: PIRD developed and enlarged with progressive myopia and axial elongation in childhood. It should be differentiated from widening of RNFL defect shown with glaucoma progression.
