Evaluation of a patient with buried optic disc drusen in the differential diagnosis of papilledema
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optic disc drusen (ODD) is hyaline-like calcified material accumulation that may occur at the optic nerve head. It is seen in approximately in 0.3% of the population and is often bilateral. Since bilateral cases might mimic papilledema, it is important to make the differential diagnosis. In this report; a patient followed in the neurology department with suspected papilledema and diagnosed with bilateral ODD will be assessed by means of perimetry, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNLF) analysis and fundus autofloresence (FAF) imaging methods.

متن کاملBuried Disc Drusen Have Hyporeflective Appearance on Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose. Buried disc drusen are an important differential diagnosis for papilledema. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) affords clinicians with new non-invasive opportunities to probe below the surface of the optic nerve. Clinicians may use the knowledge of this appearance to rule out buried disc drusen in patients with irregular optic nerve borders or a bulging, hyperemic ap...
متن کاملCT of drusen bodies and other calcific lesions of the optic nerve: case report and differential diagnosis.
One of the major causes of misdiagnosis of papilledema is buried drusen of the optic nerve head [1, 2]. Optic nerve drusen are calcified concretions of unknown etiology, located within the optic nerve head just anterior to the lamina cribrosa. As these concretions enlarge they may become visible ophthalmoscopically. When buried in the nerve head, they may cause difficulties in the ophthalmoscop...
