Neuroretinal Rim, Schema

Neuroretinal Rim, Schema
The width of the neuroretinal rim area is normal when following the thumb rule ISNT: inferior is wider than superior, nasal is wider than temporal. Glaucoma has to be suspected with deviations from this rule and when finding notches. The frequency of notches also follows the rule of thumb: ISNT. The normal shape of an excavation is a lying oval.
