IOTM: Optic Nerve Head Drusen (ONHD)
Image of the Month (IOTM) is a collection of interesting clinical cases with high quality images for all relevant imaging modalities (ex: color fundus, OCT, OCTA, FAF, FA, En Face, Red-free, choroidal vasculography (CVG), anterior imaging) and other clinical results if relevant (ex: visual field plots). Each case is submitted by an eye care professional using one of Topcon’s industry-leading OCT devices.
Case background
This patient presented with an elevated optic nerve. To help distinguish between calcified optic disc drusen vs. optic disc edema, fundus autofluorescence (Image B) successfully shows calcified optic disc drusen of the nerve head. The Triton’s capability to simultaneously show true color fundus photos (Image A), fundus autofluorescence (Image B), and OCT (Image C) makes the patient’s presentation clear without the need for further imaging.
