Abstract
Non-glaucomatous papillary cupping constitutes an important differential diagnosis in daily medical practice. There are patients diagnosed and treated as glaucoma, who do not present the disease and are part of the large group of non-glaucomatous optic neuropathies. This case emphasizes directing the diagnostic gaze to these “apparently glaucomatous” optic nerves through a case of periventricular leukomalacia. Patients with a history of prematurity, alterations in the cerebral white matter and presence of optic nerve excavations with normal intraocular pressures.
