Optic Disc Pseudoduplication Following Focal Laser Application for Non-center Involved Clinically Significant Diabetic Macular Edema: A Case Report
Optic disc pseudoduplication, or pseudo-doubling, is a rare clinical condition that refers to the presence of an optic disc-like lesion located adjacent to the true optic nerve head, creating the impression of a duplicated disc. The vast majority of reported cases are associated with optic disc or chorioretinal coloboma. In this article, we present a rare example of pseudo-disc formation that developed secondary to a laser-induced choroidal neovascular membrane, highlighting its unusual appearance.
