We found that a lower MBR of the disc and macula area was noted on LSFG in this patient with optic disc melanocytoma, and it was continually observed at the 3-month follow-up. Although blood vessel networks in the deep retinal layer of the tumor were detected by OCTA, vascular compromise in the surrounding disc area and macula was found. Therefore, these results further increase our knowledge about the role that circulation impairment plays in the pathogenesis of the disease while vision is unaffected.
