Abstract
To report the presence of posterior segment neovascularization in eyes with optic nerve aplasia. Three eyes in two patients with clinical optic nerve aplasia were studied. Examination disclosed posterior segment neovascularization in one eye and progressive posterior segment neovascularization in two eyes. Posterior segment neovascularization may occur in association with optic nerve aplasia. Retinal ischemia or retinochoroidal anatomic disorganization, or both, may provide the stimulus for neovascularization in such eyes.
