Optic Disc Drusen (ODD) in the Setting of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)

Optic disc drusen (ODD) has recently been described to occur following diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). There is great difficulty distinguishing papilledema from anomalous optic nerves or ODD in pediatric patients. This uncertainty leads to extensive testing with associated risks of general anesthesia and/or lumbar puncture (LP). The objective of this study is to describe the association of elevated opening pressure (OP) on LP with presence of ODD among pediatric patients.
