To characterize optic nerve head (ONH) anatomy related to the clinical optic disc margin with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Cross-sectional study. Open-angle glaucoma patients with focal, diffuse and sclerotic optic disc damage, and age-matched normal controls. High-resolution radial SD-OCT B-scans centered on the ONH were analyzed at each clock hour. For each scan, the border tissue of Elschnig was classified for obliqueness (internally oblique, externally oblique, or non-oblique), and presence of Bruch’s membrane overhang over border tissue. Optic disc stereo-photographs were co-localized to SD-OCT data with customized software. The frequency with which the disc margin identified in stereo-photographs coincided with (1) Bruch’s membrane opening, defined as the innermost edge of Bruch’s membrane; (2) Bruch’s membrane/border tissue, defined as any aspect of either, outside Bruch’s membrane opening or border tissue; or (3) border tissue, defined as any aspect of border tissue alone, in the B-scans was computed at each clock hour. SD-OCT structures coinciding with the disc margin in stereo-photographs. There were 30 patients (10 with each type of disc damage) and 10 controls, with median (range) age 68.1 (42–86) and 63.5 (42–77) years respectively. Although 28 (93%) patients had 2 or more border tissue configurations, the most predominant one was internally oblique, primarily superiorly and nasally, frequently with Bruch’s membrane overhang. Externally oblique border tissue was less frequent, observed mostly inferiorly and temporally. In controls, there was predominantly internally oblique configuration around the disc. While the configurations were not statistically different between patients and controls, they were among the 3 glaucoma groups. At most locations the SD-OCT structure most frequently identified as the disc margin was some aspect of Bruch’s membrane and border tissue, outside Bruch’s membrane opening. Bruch’s membrane overhang was regionally present in the majority of glaucoma patients and controls, however, in most cases not visible as the disc margin. The clinically perceived disc margin is most likely not the SD-OCT detected innermost edge of Bruch’s membrane. These findings have important implications for the automated detection of the disc margin and estimates of the neuroretinal rim.
