Association Between Myelinated Nerves Fiber Layer and Choroidal Folds: A Case Report

Abstract

This study aims to present an unusual combination of choroidal folds and a myelinated nerve fibre layer. The right eye of a 45-year-old male had been experiencing vision loss for the past six months.An ophthalmic examination revealed a distinct peripapillary white striated patch with feathered borders approximately two disc diameters in size at the nasal pole of the optic disc in both eyes. Choroidal folds involving the macula were also observed in the right eye. This is the first report of an association between a myelinated nerve fiber layer (MNFL) and choroidal folds.
