Vertical ovalness of glaucomatous cupping.
Slit-lamp examination and stereoscopic fundus photography were found to be helpful in differentiating between physiological and glaucomatous cupping of the disc. Vertical ovalness of any cup in the disc should raise the suspicion of glaucoma, and the magnitude of the vertical cup: disc ratio is of particular significance.
متن کاملPrevalence of disc cupping in non-glaucomatous eyes.
This study assessed optic disc size and cupping, using a commercially available ophthalmoscope, in order to show norms of these values for clinical practice. Subjects were office-workers referred from their respective workplaces for a routine medical examination, which included eye examination. The optic disc size was classified as small, medium or large, for having a diameter < 1.0, 1.0-1.5, o...
متن کاملDifferentiating Glaucomatous from Non-Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Cupping by Optical Coherence Tomography
BACKGROUND In clinical practice, the differentiation of glaucomatous from non-glaucomatous cupping can be difficult, even for experienced observers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in differentiating glaucomatous from non-glaucomatous optic nerve cupping in a cross-sectional pilot study. METHODS Eleven consecutive patients presenting to...
متن کاملGlaucomatous-Like Cupping Associated with Slow-Growing Supra-Sellar Intracranial Lesions
Shlomo Dotan, MD Department of Ophthalmology, Hebrew University Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel ABSTRACT Purpose: To demonstrate that slow-growing intracranial suprasellar mass lesions can be associated with optic disc cupping, clinically indistinguishable from glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Cases: At a neuro-ophthalmology tertiary clinic, a retrospective chart review identified four...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies novel loci that influence cupping and the glaucomatous process
Glaucoma is characterized by irreversible optic nerve degeneration and is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Here, the International Glaucoma Genetics Consortium conducts a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of vertical cup-disc ratio (VCDR), an important disease-related optic nerve parameter. In 21,094 individuals of European ancestry and 6,784 individua...
