B-mode ultrasonography (B-USG) is the preferred imaging technique for diagnosing optic disc drusen. This non-invasive and affordable method accurately identified drusen in all patients, unlike other imaging modalities.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Optic disc drusen diagnosis lacks a standardized imaging approach.
  • Accurate identification of optic disc drusen is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of various imaging techniques in detecting optic disc drusen.
  • To determine the optimal imaging modality for diagnosing optic disc drusen.

Main Methods:

  • Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fundus fluorescein angiography, and B-mode ultrasonography (B-USG) were performed.
  • Four patients with optic disc drusen as the sole pathology were studied.

Main Results:

  • CT, MRI, and autofluorescence detected optic disc drusen in only one patient each.

  • B-mode ultrasonography (B-USG) successfully identified characteristic features of optic disc drusen in all four patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • B-mode ultrasonography (B-USG) demonstrates superior sensitivity for detecting optic disc drusen.
    • B-USG is recommended as the imaging method of choice due to its non-invasive nature and cost-effectiveness.
