Tilted Disc

Tilted Disc
The right optic disc is ovoid and tilted such that its lower pole is closer to the fovea. The retinal vessels originate from the temporal aspect of the disc (situs inversus) and course nasally before curving back into the arcades. The inferonasal fundus is hypo pigmented and mildly staphylomatous. This anomaly can be associated with pseudo-bitemporal visual field defects.
