Diagnostic Value of Systematic Imaging Examination in Embedded Optic Disc Drusen in Adolescents with Mild Visual Impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate the diagnostic value of systematic ophthalmologic imaging examination in the diagnosis of embedded optic disc drusen (ODD) in adolescents with mild visual impairment.

Methods

Eleven patients were evaluated through optometric examination, fundus photography, visual field inspection, optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultrasonography (US), and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Of the 11 patients, three also underwent cranial and orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Results

All 11 patients had either no apparent abnormality or only mild refractive abnormalities. In all patients, fundus inspection revealed flushing the optic disc with varying degrees of limited boundary ambiguity and optic disc congestion with disappearance of the fovea. One pati
