Abstract
In the case described in the previous section, we analyzed the relationship between the ocular-cranial pressure gradient and morphological changes in the optic disc. We noted that under a dynamic balance between high intraocular and high intracranial pressure, glaucomatous cupping of the optic disc may be postponed or not occur. However, when the eye is instead subject to low intraocular pressure and high intracranial pressure, what changes does this bring to the optic disc?
