Abstract
Optic disc drusen are extracellular calcified deposits that form at the level of the optic disc. These deposits may be visible during a fundus examination and are typically identified as yellowish spots of varying size. Most of the time, optic disc drusen are asymptomatic, but they can be associated with visual field changes and may influence the development of certain optic pathologies. This article describes a case of a 65- year-old man with disc drusen complicated by acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
