Abstract

A description is given of the fluorescein angiographic findings of the normal and abnormal optic disc. The data of the normal optic disc are followed by an analysis of the effects of experimentally increased intraocular pressure and of glaucoma. Important facts of differential diagnostic characteristics in various types of optic disc oedema are discussed, and some miscellaneous conditions are delineated. Fluorescein angiography has made a significant contribution to the elucidation of the blood supply of the optic nerve head.
