PURPOSE
To determine whether nonglaucomatous optic disc cupping in children violates the ISNT rule (which states that for normal optic discs the neuroretinal rim width is greatest in the order inferior >or= superior >or= nasal >or= temporal).
METHODS
Digital ocular fundus photographs from a random cohort of children with large optic disc cups of nonglaucomatous origin were analyzed in masked fashion by using computer graphic software. The diameter and perimeter of each optic disc and optic…

The key features that differentiated NGODC from GODC were the color of the optic disc rim and the correlation between visual field defects and the disc appearance, which aided in distinguishing between the two disorders.
Evaluation of the “IS” Rule to Differentiate Glaucomatous Eyes From Normal
- MedicineJournal of glaucoma
- 2016
The ISNT rule alone has a high sensitivity but relatively low specificity but a combination of different features of the optic disc (increase of CDR and ISNT or IS rule) improves the specificity of optic disc evaluation for glaucoma.

TheISNT rule does not apply to neuroretinal rim area as measured by HRT, as only 18% of the eyes complied with the ISNT rule in this normative database, and the IS and IST rules seem to better represent the normative database.

Accurate identification of glaucomatous optic neuropathy was significantly influenced by optic disc size and the ISNT rule, and this was particularly evident for the large normal nerve and the small glaucatous nerve.

BMO-based optic nerve head parameters exhibited higher diagnostic power for differentiating between normal and glaucomatous eyes based on the ISNT rule, compared with the classic method of using disc photographs.

Results from this study could observe nasalisation of the peripapillary RNFL and superior retinal artery in patients with a large disc, which may help prevent misdiagnosis of glaucoma and improve the sensitivity and specificity of glAUcoma detection.

The ISNT rule with rim thickness measured using Cirrus HD-OCT has limited clinical value in the diagnosis of glaucoma, and there is a topographic difference in inferior rim loss according to the stages ofglaucomatous damage.

The cup was absent in 15% of the assessed eyes, and the inferior was the most common quadrant with the thickest neuroretinal rim and the temporal, the thinnest, in eyes violating the ISNT rule.

It is concluded that the early birth and lower birth weights may have been associated with the large cupping of the patients’ optic disks, and to differentiate between normal physiological cupping and primary congenital glaucoma, ocular morphological examination of the eye, IOP measurements, and investigation of the parents' optic disks were useful.

By the pronounced enlargement of cup measurements, decreasing nerve fibre thickness values and decreasing ratio of temporal-to-inferior width of the neuroretinal rim, large disks may easily be detected as false glaucomatous by morphometric analysis systems.

Four hundred and fifty-seven unselected normal human optic nerve heads of 319 subjects were evaluated by magnification-corrected morphometry of optic disc photographs, finding that the cup was significantly larger in discs with steep "punched-out" cups and neuroretinal rim area was broadest in the inferior optic disc region.

The inferior NRR is marginally wider than the superior NRR in about 2/3 of normal eyes, but could not be clinically appreciated in many of these, while the characteristic configuration of a normal optic disc with the rim width being greatest in the inferior disc region followed by the superior disc region was maintained even in most patients with early glaucoma.
