Optic disc melanocytomas are uncommon tumours which are pigmented and considered benign, with little or no effect on the patient’s vision. We report the case of a 62-year-old Chinese female who had a large optic disc melanocytoma causing severe visual loss, a relative afferent pupillary defect and visual field defects.
Key words: Differential diagnosis, Nevus, pigmented, Optic disc, Optic nerve neoplasms, Vision, low
