There are shown two cases of glial hamartoma of the optic nerve head. In both cases the retinal vessels are tortuous around the optic nerve disc, and the choroid shows a brown colour, like a choroidal naevus. Histologically this kind of tumors of the optic nerve head are astrocytomas and they are met specially under the age of twenty. The glial hamartoma of the optic nerve head is a rare disease.
