Descriptor drusas del disco óptico
Entry term(s) drusas del nervio óptico
Scope note: Cuerpos del disco óptico compuestos principalmente de mucopolisacáridos ácidos que pueden producir papiledema (elevación del disco óptico sin HIPERTENSIÓN INTRACRANEAL asociada) y defectos en los campos visuales. También pueden darse drusas en la retina (ver DRUSAS RETINIANAS). (Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, p355)

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015594
Scope note: Optic disk bodies composed primarily of acid mucopolysaccharides that may produce pseudopapilledema (elevation of the optic disk without associated INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION) and visual field deficits. Drusen may also occur in the retina (see RETINAL DRUSEN). (Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, p355)
