Tilted optic discs visualized by magnetic resonance imaging.

A young woman with headaches displayed ophthalmoscopic features suggestive of papilledema. MRI showed no intracranial abnormalities but demonstrated oblique insertion of the optic nerve into the left globe and posterior nasal flattening of the left globe, features consistent with congenitally tilted optic discs. This is the second report to show that orbital MRI can demonstrate this phenomenon.
