AB  - PURPOSE: To characterize the features of peripapillary atrophy (PPA), as imaged 
      by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: SD-OCT imaging 
      of the optic disc was performed on healthy eyes, eyes suspected of having 
      glaucoma, and eyes diagnosed with glaucoma. From the peripheral beta-zone, the 
      retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), the junction of the inner and outer segments 
      (IS/OS) of the photoreceptor layer, and the Bruch's membrane/retinal pigment 
      epithelium complex layer (BRL) were visualized. RESULTS: Nineteen consecutive 
      eyes of 10 subjects were imaged. The RNFL was observed in the PPA beta-zone of all 
      eyes, and no eye showed an IS/OS complex in the beta-zone. The BRL was absent in the 
      beta-zone of two eyes. The BRL was incomplete or showed posterior bowing in the 
      beta-zone of five eyes. CONCLUSIONS: The common findings in the PPA beta-zone were that 
      the RNFL was present, but the photoreceptor layer was absent. Presence of the BRL 
      was variable in the beta-zone areas.
