Myelinated Retinal Fiber Layer

Myelinated retinal nerve fiber (MRNF) layers are a relatively common ophthalmoscopic finding and were first described as “chalk-white spots” by Virchow in 1856 (2). It appears in 0.57–1% of the population, typically present at birth as static lesions, and can occur bilaterally in 7.7% of affected patients (Gradle 1921; Virchow 1856).
