Optic Disc Drusen Is Frequently Not Reported on Computed Tomography Scans Performed for Other Reasons.

In conclusion, optic disc drusen were underreported on computed tomography scans, with only 32% of reports explicitly mentioning their presence.

This has implications for radiologists, who should be aware of the importance of optic disc drusen to ophthalmologists, who may look back at previous computed tomography scans.

Ophthalmologists should be aware that the absence of an optic disc drusen mention in a computed tomography report does not indicate the absence of optic disc drusen on the imaging.
