AB  - The authors studied the clinical features, visual field, and spectral-domain 
      optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) characteristics of peripapillary 
      melanocytoma associated with visual field defects in two eyes of two patients. 
      Both eyes had hyperreflective anterior surface and posterior optical shadowing in 
      the region of peripapillary melanocytoma on SD-OCT imaging. The retinal nerve 
      fiber layer was thin adjacent to these lesions, and this corresponded to the 
      opposite hemifield defect on Humphrey Visual Field testing. Three-dimensional 
      imaging of the melanocytoma revealed an irregular elevation in the peripapillary 
      region. SD-OCT, when used in conjunction with clinical examination and Humphrey 
      Visual Field testing, provided useful information that may assist clinicians in 
      treating patients with peripapillary melanocytoma, particularly when observing 
      them over time.
