Myelinated nerve fiber layer (mNFL) is a benign clinical entity that results from an embryologic developmental anomaly. Myelination along the visual pathway is noted around the eighth month of gestation, and typically reaches the posterior globe around the time of birth with virtually all fibers reaching complete myelination by age 7 months till the lamina cribrosa. Sometimes, due to altered neuro hormonal signals, this process of myelination extends past the lamina cribrosa and is visible on fundus examination as distinct white patches on the inner retinal surface. On infrared and red-free imaging, mNFL appears white, which is likely due to the high lipid content of myelin. Myelin blocks detection of underlying fluorescent material, thus appearing dark on fundus autofluorescence. On optical coherence tomography , it appears as a thickened and hyperreflective retinal nerve fiber layer. mNFL is typically benign but can be mistaken for other potentially serious conditions like neoplastic infiltration or infection. Hence, it is crucial to recognize the benign nature of mNFL to avoid superfluous medical testing.

Optical coherence tomography of the left eye of a 20-year-old male with Alport Syndrome. The patient did not present with any ocular or visual symptoms, yet the distinct "plateau contour" of his fovea was noted on OCT during his visit. The patient presented with 20/25 vision at the time of his visit. There was myelinated nerve fiber layer noted in both eyes, but these features had remained stable from his appointment three years prior. The physician noted that myelinated nerve fiber was a congenital change, and had not affected his vision or health of the eye, nor is a feature of Alport Syndrome.
