Abstract
In a patient with a coloboma of the optic nerve, inferior retina and choroid, and deep portions of the sclera, a retrobulbar vessel moved irregularly relative to the retinal vessels, which moved contiguously with the posterior globe. Fluorescein angiography showed the retrobulbar vessel filling slightly later than overlying retinal vessels. We conclude that the retrobulbar vessel was a vein situated inferiorly to the optic nerve.
