Bergmeister's papilla




Bergmeister's papilla is a structure that arises from the center of the optic disc, consists of a small tuft of fibrous tissue and represents a rudementary fetal hyaloid artery.

The hyaloid artery offers nutrients to the lens at some degree of early development inside the fetal eye, and runs forward to the lens from the optic disc.The optic disc is included by means of using a plaque of fibrous cells known as the central supporting tissue meniscus of Kuhnt. This plaque forms a fibrous sheath across the hyaloid artery wherein it leaves the optic disc. At the time of delivery of the infant the hyaloid artery regresses, and is generally absolutely regressed by the time of eyelids opening. Bergmeister's papilla is a remnant of the hyaloid artery fibrous sheath and is regularly located as an incidental finding. Bergmeister's papilla is referred to after Austrian ophthalmologist O. Bergmeister (1845–1918).

The Mittendorf dot

  The Mittendorf dot, determined by William Frederick Mitttendorf, is a congenital vascular abnormality of eye which takes place because of an involutional fault of the anterior terminus of anterior hyaloid artery. It manifests as a focal opacity in the infero-nasal element of the posterior lens capsular surface. It is a scientific version of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV), a spectrum of situations that rise up whilst fetal hyaloid vasculature fails to involute. The Mittendorf dot is concept to be connected to the posterior lens capsular surface itself; current research suggests the opportunity of a retrolental presence of the dot inside the anterior vitreous. A lone Mittendorf dot is a exceptionally benign clinical finding and no inflicting any visual impairment
