Özet
Purpose: To evaluate the coexistence of optic disc drusen (ODD) in eyes with uveitis. Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, patients followed up in a uvea clinic with all types of uveitis were evaluated. ODD were confirmed by ocular ultrasonography, optic nerve head enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence, and fundus photography. Results: ODD were detected in 17 of 545 (3.1%) uveitis patients. The mean age was 18.9 ± 10.4 years, and 76.5% were female. 45.5% were anterior, 42.4% were panuveitis, 6.1% were intermediate, and 6.1% were posterior uveitis. ODD were found bilaterally in all 17 patients; uveitis was unilateral in one patient. 58.8% were under the age of 18, and in this group, the rate of buried ODD was 78.9% (p = 0.039). In adults (seven patients), ODD were buried in 42.9%. Conclusion: ODD can be detected in eyes with uveitis and may clinically mimic optic disc edema, lead to misdiagnosis and/or overtreatment.
