Multimodal Imaging Characteristics of a Rare Co-occurrence of Optic Nerve Head Drusen and Peripapillary Myelinated Retinal Nerve Fibres

Multimodal Imaging Characteristics of a Rare Co-occurrence of Optic Nerve Head Drusen and Peripapillary Myelinated Retinal Nerve Fibres

Although isolated optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) and peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibres (MRNF) are described in the literature many times as far as we could reach, the combination of the two has been reported in only a single case without multimodal imaging. Here, we present multimodal im...

Description
Summary:Although isolated optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) and peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibres (MRNF) are described in the literature many times as far as we could reach, the combination of the two has been reported in only a single case without multimodal imaging. Here, we present multimodal imaging of a 47-year-old healthy woman with MRNF who had blind spot enlargement and a visual field defect in the left eye ascribed to the ONHD. ONHD may accompany MRNF which can hide the disc drusen. Clinicians, therefore, should be aware of this rare coexistence to explain possible complications such as visual field defects associated with drusen in patients with MRNF.
