Myelinated Retinal Nerve Fibers in Children: OCT Imaging, Refractive Error and Vision

ophthalmology journal
Myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNFs) are developmental anomalies of the retina that appear as white to grey-white striated patches with feathery edges, often distributed around or contiguous with the optic disc and surrounding the vascular arcades. Based on a fundus photography study including 5789 patients, Kodama et al. reported that MRNFs occur in approximately 0.57% of the population, most often involving superior and inferior-temporal per papillary areas. No MRNFs were discovered in the macula, and 7.7% were bilateral.
