Optic nerve head drusen

Visual field loss in optic disc drusen patients correlates with central retinal artery blood velocity patterns

“…Considering the prelaminar portion of the optic disc head to be relatively unexpandable, the presence of the calcified hyaline bodies will directly compress the surrounding vessels and axons (the crowded disc; Auw-Haedrich et al 1996;Spencer 1978). The extent of this compression has been thought to have clinical implications, as the more crowded the disc, the more prone these patients are to have a vascular-related complication and/or to further damage the neuron conductivity (Davis & Jay 2003;Grippo et al 2008). Our results seem to support this notion.…”

Contribution to the Optic Nerve

“…The younger age is more dominant among them in comparison to the years of life of patients with NAINO. CRAO, CRVO, and subretinal neovascularization adjacent to optic nerve head may also affect the younger population [2,9]. Our patient did not have vascular complications because of the shorter duration of detected drusen and her age.…”

Ophthalmological findings in Joubert syndrome

“…The association between drusen and retinitis pigmentosa is well established and the incidence of the combination has been reported to be between 0 and 10%. 11 The association between JS and optic disc drusen has not been earlier reported. However, as optic disc drusen are commonly seen in clinical routine, random coincidence cannot be excluded.…”
