Summary The optic disc can be involved by a variety of primary and secondary tumors. Primary tumors include capillary and cavernous hemangiomas, astrocytomas, and melanocytomas. Secondary optic disc tumors like leukemia, metastatic carcinoma, and from adjacent structures (choroidal melanoma, retinoblastoma, meningioma) may also invade the nerve head. Clinical features are varied, differential diagnosis and actualised management will be discussed.
