OPHTHALMOSCOPIC VISUALIZATION OF THE INFERIOR OPHTHALMIC VEIN THROUGHA CHORIORETINAL COLOBOMA

PURPOSE/METHODS: In a patient with a coloboma of the optic nerve, infe rior retina and choroid, and deep portions of the sclera, a retrobulba r vessel moved irregularly relative to the retinal vessels, which move d contiguously with the posterior globe. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Fluoresce in angiography showed the retrobulbar vessel filling slightly later th an overlying retinal vessels. We conclude that the retrobulbar vessel was a vein situated inferiorly to the optic nerve.
