Optic Nerve Head Drusen: An Update [PDF]
Optic nerve head drusen are benign acellular calcium concretions that usually form early in life, just anterior to the lamina cribrosa. Improving imaging using optical coherence tomography suggests they are common and may be present in many clinically normal discs.

Optic nerve head (ONH) drusen are acellular calcified concretions. Buried drusen manifests as pseudopapilledema. The compressive effects of ONH drusen can rarely precipitate central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Visual Field Defects in Patients With Optic Nerve Head Drusen. [PDF]
Background Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) are acellular deposits in the optic nerve head, whose pathophysiology remains not fully understood. Most patients with ONHD have visual field (VF) defects. This study aims to describe the VF defects observed in patients with ONHD and to compare the anatomical and functional impairment between visible and buried

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.

Incidentally discovered optic nerve head drusen
A 34-year-old white woman presented for holocephalic headaches following a blow to the head. She did not mention any vision disturbance. Computed tomography was performed and displayed bilateral calcific deposits in the disk optic areas consistent with ...

Optic nerve head drusen mimicking optic nerve tumor. [PDF]
Dear Editor, Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) are laminated hyaline bodies within the optic nerve head. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a noninvasive optical imaging technique that provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. This technique thus offers

Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascularization Associated with Optic Nerve Head Drusen Treated with Anti-VEGF Agents [PDF]
Optic nerve head drusen can be associated with peripapillary choroidal neovascularization, in both the pediatric and adult population. These membranes can involve the macula, causing significant visual loss.
