| Summary: |
Optic disc drusen are the
inherited changes, which occur in about 0,3% of the
population. The optic discs of patients with drusen
characteristically show a lumpy, bumpy border and bright
irregular deposits. Drusen are generally asymptomatic,
but in some cases visual defects occur. B-scan
sonography, fluorescein angiography and computed
tomography are the best imaging procedures for
diagnosing of the optic disc drusen. Drusen are quite
often associated with various vascular anomalies and
complications. Patients with retinitis pigmentosa and
angioid streaks have a higher prevelance of drusen.
Although, no effective treatment of optic disc drusen
has been established, regular examinations should be
carried out in order, to recognize accompanying
complications.
This paper presents current knowledge on the
pathogenesis, diagnostics, vascular changes and
disorders associated with the optic disc drusen, as well
as on their complications and management. |
