In a
pediatric population optic nerve drusen (OND) is often buried, non-calcified
and difficult to detect on clinical examination compared to the adult
presentation of optic nerve drusen. Many imaging modalities can be applied to
tease out the clinical signs, such as fundus photos, bscan ultrasonocraphy,
fundus autofluorescence, IVFA, OCT and more recently, Enhanced Depth (EDI) OCT
Imaging. Although many research papers have explored how to improve detection
of OND, no single method can be relied upon in all instances. After careful
review of the research papers, EDI-OCT is showing promise within our pediatric
population. This presentation will detail how EDI-OCT, using a modified
approach in scanning technique, can complement other imaging modalities to
improve detection of buried non-calcified drusen bodies.
