Abstract

Purpose
To report a case of optic disc pigmentation in a nevus of Ota patient.
Case summary
A 56-year-old female was referred to our clinic with suspected glaucoma in the left eye. She had no previous history of ocular surgery or treatment. The best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure were 0.7 and 15 mmHg in both eyes, respectively. Slit lamp microscopy demonstrated nevus of Ota in the right sclera and increased iris pigmentation. Gonioscopy demonstrated increased trabecular meshwork pigmentation in the right eye. Fundus examination showed pigmentation of the choroid and optic disc in the right eye; choroidal thickness of the right eye was greater than that of the left eye on optical coherence tomography. However, there were no glaucomatous changes in the right eye. There were no specific findings in the left eye.
Conclusions
To the best of our knowledge, this was the first reported case of optic disc pigmentation in a Korean nevus of Ota patient.
