Optic nerve head OCT with scan positions

Urgency
Routine

Examination
Read with the field and the pressure; alone the scan describes structure, not function.

Presentation typical of this diagnosis, written for teaching. The source dataset provides the image and its label only, with no accompanying clinical record.
