Optic disc drusen mimicking Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH): rely on ultrasound
2021
Neurological Research and Practice
Preserved Fulltext
AbstractOptic nerve ultrasound is an established routine supplementary diagnostic tool for idiopathic intracranial pressure but it can also be helpful in avoiding misdiagnoses. We describe a case of an obese 15- year-old girl with persistent headaches, fundoscopic findings suggesting papilledema, normal brain imaging who underwent two lumbar punctures with unremarkable cerebrospinal fluid findings before ultrasound revealed optic disc drusen as the cause of the optic disc elevation.
