Concomitant optic disk drusen and papilledema due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a pediatric cohort

Optic disk drusen (ODD) in pediatric patients typically presents with pseudopapilledema. Diagnosing concomitant papilledema due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in these patients can be challenging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and clinical features of papilledema due to IIH among pediatric patients with a new diagnosis of ODD and to discuss the clinical and paraclinical findings that helped diagnose this group.
