Purpose:
To evaluate if the changes in the peripapillary and papillary retinal nerve fiber layer, in a young girl who presents papillary drusen and ocular hypertension in both eyes.
Methods:
We 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.
Conclusion:
In a well controlled ocular hypertensive patient there is no evidence of changes at the optic nerve head and RFNL related to the drusen or to the high pressure. All the diagnosis methods were correlationated with the clinical evolution over time.
