Abstract
- The nevus of Ota is a benign nevus characterized by the deposition of pigment in an area of distribution of the first and second branches of the trigeminal nerve. In general it rarely causes ophthalmological problems. We experienced a 23-year-old male patient who complained sudden visual loss in the left eye with the characteristics of the nevus of Ota. On examination we found the altitudinal field defect which we believe is an unusual finding of the nevus of Ota.
