Abstract

Optic disc drusen (ODD), which is composed of accumulation of hyalin, a calcified pathological material, is a congenital optic disc anomaly. Superficial ODDs are diagnosed easily, during fundus examination, while to diagnose the buried ones, some additional diagnostic tools such as B-scan ultrasonography (USG), fundus flourescein angiography (FFA), computerized tomography (CT) are essential. ODD may be misdiagnosed as early onset papilledema, therefore it is an important clinical case. We present here a case with unilateral ODD, who is referred to our clinics with papilledema preliminary diagnosis.
