Abstract
-
PURPOSE: Optic disc harmatoma is usually seen in tuberous sclerosis patients, but, it may be seen in otherwise normal people. Visual acuity is usually not affected by this lesion.
METHODS
We experienced a 40-year-old woman with optic disc hamartoma who presented with acute visual defect. With oral triamcinolone 48mg/day, her visions recovered to normal in 2 weeks.
RESULTS
Her age, symptom, and course of disease supported the diagnosis of optic neuritis.
CONCLUSION
We report this patient as a case of optic disc hamartoma combined with optic neuritis.
