Abstract

Developmental anomalies of the optic nerve are an important and growing cause of lifelong visual handicap and they are often associated with systemic abnormalities. This review focuses on the ocular and systemic aspects of developmental anomalies arising from defects of fetal fissure closure and retinal ganglion cell development, and covers some other optic-disc anomalies that have systemic significance.
