Chorioretinal folds as a consequence of inferior staphyloma associated with tilted disc syndrome.

BACKGROUND

Tilted disc syndrome is a common condition which is usually associated with an inferior staphyloma.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Observational case report.

RESULTS

An 82-year-old woman presented with features typical of tilted disc syndrome, as well as chorioretinal folds orientated radially to the upper edge of the inferior staphyloma.

CONCLUSION

The orientation of the folds suggested that the progressive increase of the inferior staphyloma exerted traction on the RPE, Bruch's membrane and choriocapillaris complex, leading to chorioretinal folds radiating from the upper edge of the staphyloma.
