Abstract
The parapapillary gamma zone was associated with an axial elongation-induced rotation of the optic disc mainly around the vertical disc axis, leading to a stretching of the temporal peripapillary scleral flange. Because macular Bruch's membrane length was independent of axial elongation, it leaves the temporal parapapillary region with an uncovered Bruch's membrane (i.e., parapapillary gamma zone develops).
