Drusen of the optic disc

open access: yesCurrent Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2008
Optic disc drusen are acellular calcific deposits occurring in small, crowded optic discs with abnormal vasculature. Evidence suggests axoplasmic transport alteration and axonal degeneration are involved in disc drusen formation. In affected patients, the number and size of disc drusen are highly variable, and the drusen may be visible near the disc ...

Optic disc drusen: Complications and management

Optometry - Journal of the American Optometric Association, 2007
Disc drusen have been found clinically in 0.3% of the population with up to 91% presenting bilaterally. Disc drusen gradually change in their ophthalmoscopic appearance throughout a patient's lifespan. This case highlights the possible ocular complications of disc drusen and the complexity in their treatment because of the risk of visual acuity loss.A ...

Optic Disc Drusen in Children

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1988
ABSTRACT Forty children with pseudopapilledema due to optic disc drusen (31 bilateral, nine unilateral) were studied retrospectively to characterize the early natural history of this condition. The average age at the first examination was 10.2 years (range 3.6 to 19.5 years), and the mean follow-up period was 44 months.

Drusen and the misleading optic disc

Practical Neurology, 2010
Optic disc drusen are acellular calcified deposits occurring in small optic discs. They have a prevalence of up to approximately 2% and are bilateral in 75% of cases. Their size and fundosc pic visibility increase with age, and they are commonly responsible for the misdiagnosis of papilloedema by the unwary.
