title: Use of optical coherence topography for objective assessment of fundus torsion.
abstract: Objective assessment of fundus torsion is currently performed with indirect ophthalmoscopy or fundus photography. Using the infrared image of the macular scan of the optical coherence tomography one can assess the presence and amount of fundus torsion. In addition, the line scan through the fovea can be used as a reference to confirm the position of the foveal pit in relation to the optic nerve head. Two cases are used to demonstrate how to assess fundus torsion with the use of the optical coherence tomography.
