Roger A. Hitchings, FRCS; James J. Corbett, MD; LCDR Jan Winkleman, MC; Norman J. Schatz, MD

Arch Neurol. 1976;33(10):675-677.

Abstract
• The distinction between early papilledema and drusen of the optic disk may be made more difficult by the presence of hemorrhages. We report five patients with drusen of the optic disk and associated hemorrhages. The distinguishing characteristics of both conditions are described.
