Unusual Trigger for Contractile Movements of Optic Disc in Peripapillary Staphyloma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a case of contractile movements of the optic disc in peripapillary staphyloma.

Methods

A 65-year-old female received a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, multimodal imaging, and computed tomography.

Results

The patient was diagnosed with peripapillary staphyloma in her right eye. Best-corrected visual acuity in her right and left eye was 20/32 and 20/40, respectively, with moderate cataracts in both eyes. Multimodal imaging revealed contractile movements of the optic disc in the right eye that were initiated by the circular rotation of the eye but by none of the triggers previously described in the literature. The patient reported no changes in her vision during contractile movements. Optical coherence tomography revealed a muscle-like structure i
