Objective: Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD), peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass like structures (PHOMS) and horizontal hyperreflective lines (HHL) are commonly seen in eyes with pseudopapilledema on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) .The objective of this study is to assess the frequency of ONHD, PHOMS and HHL on spectral domain OCT in the eyes diagnosed to have pseudopapilledema on clinical evaluation.Methods: Retrospective case control study of patients with pseudopapilledema and SD OCT imaging of the optic nerve head (n=48 eyes) and controls (n=20 eyes) .Volumetric OCT scans through the optic nerve head were studied to diagnose ONHD, HHL and PHOMS. The mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) of eyes with ONHD was compared in eyes with deep drusens(DD) and both deep and superficial drusens(DSD). One proportion z test was used to find the difference in proportions.Results: 48 eyes of 27 subjects were studied. ONHD as described by the optic disc drusen study consortium was noted in 19 eyes (39.48%), p value-0.032 ,PHOMS in 31 eyes (64.6%),p value 0.043,HL in 19 eyes (39.48%) ,p value-0.032. Mean RNFL thickness were significantly lower in inferior and temporal quadrants in eyes with both DSD when compared to the eyes with DD only. (p value.008)Conclusions: PHOMS are more frequently seen than ONHD and HHL in eyes with pseudopapilledema. Absence of ONHD on SD OCT doesn’t preclude the diagnosis of pseudopapilledema.
Objective Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD), peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass like structures (PHOMS) and horizontal hyperreflective lines (HHL) are commonly seen in eyes with pseudopapilledema on enhanced depth imaging (EDI) spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) .The objective of this study is to assess the frequency of ONHD, PHOMS and HHL on spectral domain OCT in the eyes diagnosed to pseudopapilledema Methods A retrospective case control study included patients diagnosed as pseudopapilledema and EDI SD OCT imaging of the optic nerve head (n = 48 eyes) and controls (n = 20 eyes) Volumetric OCT scans through the optic nerve head were studied to diagnose ONHD, HHL and PHOMS. One proportion z test was used to find the difference in proportions . Results 48 eyes of 27 subjects were studied. ONHD as described by the optic disc drusen study consortium was noted in 19 eyes (39.48%), p value-0.032 ,PHOMS in 31 eyes (64.6%),p value 0.043,HL in 19 eyes (39.48%) ,p value-0.032, and none of the normals had ONHD,PHOMS and HHL. Conclusions PHOMS are more frequently seen than ONHD and HHL in eyes with pseudopapilledema.
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.
