Imaging Methods in the Diagnosis of Optic Disc Drusen
Optic disc drusen (ODD) are benign congenital anomalies of the optic nerve characterized by calcified hyaline bodies. While superficial drusen can be diagnosed easily during fundus examination, detecting buried drusen requires the use of additional ...

DUAL ETIOLOGY IN OPTIC DISC ELEVATION: A PEDIATRIC CASE WITH COEXISTING OPTIC DISC DRUSEN AND ELEVATED CEREBROSPINAL FLUID PRESSURE [PDF]
Purpose: In the presence of bilateral optic disc elevation with supportive clinical findings, papilledema should be considered the primary diagnosis. Particularly in bilateral presentations, optic disc drusen must be carefully evaluated in the

Multicolor Imaging of Optic Disc Drusen [PDF]
Abstract: Optic disc drusen (ODD) are calcified deposits at the anterior optic nerve that are often detectable by ophthalmic imaging, including optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence imaging. Multicolor (MC) imaging is a novel modality that captures reflectance of blue, green, and near-infrared laser lights with confocal ...

Advances in origin, evolution, and pathogenesis of optic disc drusen: A narrative review [PDF]
Optic disc drusen (ODD) is acellular calcified deposits found mainly in front of the lamina cribrosa within the optic nerve. It can cause chronic or acute vision loss.

Diagnosing Optic Disc Drusen in the Modern Imaging Era:A Practical Approach [PDF]
Optic disc drusen (ODD) are a well-recognised cause of an elevated optic disc appearance. When visible with ophthalmoscopy and fundus photography, ODD are readily identified. Yet, in more subtle cases of ODD, ancillary testing may be needed to render the

Disc edge veins of Kraupa associated with optic disc drusen
[english] Objective: Disc edge veins of Kraupa are a rare anomaly of the retinal venous system in which the main trunk of the retinal vein disappeared into the margin of the optic disc instead of its centre.Methods: A 40-year-old woman was detected to ...

Multimodal OCT/OCT-A Risk Stratification in Optic Disc Drusen: Drusen Height, Peripapillary Perfusion, and Visual Field Slope Identify Fast Progressors [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Optic disc drusen (ODD) are deposits in the optic nerve head that can look like true swelling, and in some patients, slowly damage the optic nerve and cause visual field loss.

The Optic Disc Drusen Studies Consortium Recommendations for Diagnosis of Optic Disc Drusen Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Background: Making an accurate diagnosis of optic disc drusen (ODD) is important as part of the work-up for possible life-threatening optic disc edema. It also is important to follow the slowly progressive visual field defects many patients with ODD experience.
