Why isn't congenital optic atrophy optical nerve not developed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most idiopathic: Most cases do not have a cause. Some cases are associated with CNS (brain problems such as genetic or idiopathic causes), some are genetic such as leber's disease and rarely can be due to maternal diabetes and drug use.
