Abstract
Medullated (Myelinated) retinal nerve fibres(MRNF) are developmental anomaly and occur in less than 1%
of the population, however, most of the reported cases of MRNF is with ocular diseases ,systemic association of MRNF
is rarely described. It is usually associated with ipsilateral high myopia and amblyopia. We are reporting a case of a 28
year old young female presenting to us with sudden onset of right crural monoplegia associated with MRNF on
fundoscopy. Systemic association was represented by a subacute infarct on MRI Brain which is an unusual association
with MRNFs.
