[PDF] Buried Disc Drusen have hypo-reflective appearance on SD-OCT

It is hypothesized that the hyporeflectant appearance of drusen is due to a constancy in refractive index through the druse, as OCT detects changes in optical reflectivity.

  • What are the symptoms of buried drusen?

    Having gray or blurry vision for short time periods.
    Losing peripheral vision.
    Having white or yellow lumps on your optic discs that an ophthalmologist or other provider can see during an examination. “Buried” optic disc drusen are ones a provider can't see easily, as opposed to “visible” optic disc drusen.

  • What is the difference between drusen and papilledema on Oct?

    •
    SD-OCT of ONHD will reveal an elevated disc with a characteristic “lumpy-bumpy” appearance.
    On the other hand, a nerve with true papilledema will reveal a smooth internal contour of the ONH with a characteristic hyporeflective “V” pattern in the subretinal space adjacent to the ONH.

  • What does disc drusen look like?

    The drusen appear as round, refractile bodies which may be yellow or white in color and located on the surface of or buried under the nerve.
    Drusen are most commonly located on the nasal aspect of the disc.
    Additionally, if there is asymmetric nerve involvement, patients may have an afferent pupillary defect.

  • What does disc drusen look like?

    Visual field defects have been reported in 71% of eyes with visible drusen and in 25% to 30% of those without visible drusen but with the appearance of pseudopapilledema.
    Defects may include enlargement of the blind spot and generalized constriction.
