| Description |
The pathophysiology of optic nerve drusen (OND) is speculative. It has been proposed that optic nerve drusen are formed when retinal ganglion cell axons die and extrude their mitochondria (Tso, 1981). These extruded mitochondria serve as nidifor calcification. However, it is not clear why these ganglion cells die or why other diseases associated with ganglion cell death donot result in the formation of drusen. |
