| Description |
The word drusen, of Germanic origin, originally meant tumor, swelling, or tumescence. According to Lorentzen, the word was used in the mining industry approximately 500 years ago to indicate a crystal-filled space in a rock. Drusen of the optic disc were first described clinically by Liebreich in 1868. Other terms for these lesions include hyaline bodies and colloid bodies of the optic disc. |
