Papillary drusen and ocular hypertension
Moussalli MA; Sanseau A; Ebner RInternational Ophthalmology 2001; 23: 275-278
PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in the peripapillary and papillary retinal nerve fiber layer, in a young girl presenting with papillary drusen and ocular hypertension in both eyes. METHODS: The authors studied this case with retinography, Humphrey Visual Field, HRT, GDx, and diary curve tonometry. RESULTS: After three years of follow-up, no changes were observed in the drusen at the peripapillary and papillary retinal nerve fiber layer. CONCLUSIONS: In a well-controlled ocular hypertensive patient, there is no evidence of changes at the optic nerve head or RFNL related to drusen or to high pressure. All the diagnosis methods were correlated with the clinical evolution over time.
