Optic Disc Drusen in Children: An Updated Clinical and Imaging Perspective

Key Points

To evaluate the progression and diagnosis of optic disc drusen (ODD) in children using advanced imaging technologies.
Utilized OCT and OCTA for detailed imaging of optic disc drusen.
Incorporated AI to enhance diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification.
Reviewed longitudinal data to assess progression of ODD in children.
ODD are dynamic lesions that show measurable progression over time.
Enhanced imaging reduces unnecessary invasive testing while improving diagnosis.
Identification of PHOMS as a common finding aids in accurate assessment of ODD.

Abstract

Recent imaging technologies and longitudinal data have reframed pediatric ODD as dynamic lesions with measurable progression. Integration of OCT, OCTA, and AI-with awareness of PHOMS as a frequent and confounding finding-supports accurate diagnosis, risk stratification, and structured follow-up while reducing unnecessary invasive testing.
