When the UCI-led team investigated the optic nerve head of eyes treated with mild pressure elevation, they noted that in the young optic nerve head, there was no sign of loss of axons. However, in ...

A noncontrast head CT scan was performed in the emergency room. It revealed a small calcification in the right globe near the optic nerve, representing a small optic nerve drusen. A less well ...

The center of the optic nerve head (ONH) appeared to be bright and round, giving it a radiating appearance of the vascular ONH, which had a unique straightened course. Overall cupping was ...

Patients who had both OCTA and spectral-domain OCT optic nerve head imaging were included in the retrospective study. The study took place between January 2015 and December 2022; patients were ...

Source: John C. Sellechio, OD Left eye: A hemorrhage is seen at the temporal edge of the optic nerve head as are obvious streaks at 12 and 7 o’clock. Upon examination, his best-corrected visual ...

Unlike drusen in the retina, optic nerve drusen can cause minor loss of peripheral (side) vision. Optic nerve drusen are not related to aging and are a completely different condition.

The cranial nerves are a set of twelve pairs of nerves that travel to and from the brain. Each has a different function. For example, the olfactory nerve is essential for detecting smells. The ...

Neuroscientists have recently identified and demonstrated a small molecule that can effectively stimulate nerve regeneration and restore visual functions after optic nerve injury, offering great ...

Although optic nerve head drusen are rarely associated with visual acuity reduction (studies suggest an incidence of 0.65% to 1.4% of cases [8,9]), they may be associated with visual field defects ...
