Differential Diagnosis of Bilateral Optic Disc Drusen and Papiledema by Optical Coherence Tomography: Three Cases

Abstract

Optic disc drusen is composed of hyaline-like calcific material within the substance of the optic nerve head. If it occurs in both eyes it is generally misdiagnosed as papiledema. In this report, we evaluated the clinical features and the results of optical coherence tomography of three cases with bilateral optic disc drusen. By these three cases we also discuss the efficiency of optical coherence tomography in the differential diagnosis of optic disc drusen and papiledema.

BİLATERAL OPTİK DİSK DRUZENİ VE PAPİLÖDEM AYIRICI TANISINDA OPTİK KOHERENS TOMOGRAFİNİN YERİ: ÜÇ OLGU NEDENİYLE

Abstract

Optik disk druzeni, optik sinir cismi içinde hiyalin benzeri kalsifik materyalin birikmesiyle oluşur. Bilateral olgular papilödem ile karışabilir. Bu çalışmada bilateral optik disk druzenli üç hastanın klinik bulguları optik koherens tomografi sonuçları ile birlikte değerlendirilmekte ve optik koherens tomografinin optik disk drusen ve papilödem ayırıcı tanısındaki önemini vurgulanmaktadır.
