Idiopathic visible optic disc drusen are associated with changes in peripapillar RNFL thickness, especially in the superior and inferior quadrants. The anatomic pathology is related to functional abnormalities as confirmed with VEP. Detection of this type of drusen should be an indication to search for possible RNFL and VEP pathologies and to monitor their possible progression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
