| Description |
Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) in young patients (age ≤50) accounts for a minority of all cases of NA-AION. Optic disc drusen (ODD) are associated with crowded optic nerves, and are located in the prelaminar optic nerve head where they could contribute to NA-AION pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of ODD in the eyes of young NA-AION patients and to compare it to the baseline 1.8-2.0% prevalence of ODD in the general population. |
