BACKGROUND: We present a case with bilateral optic disc drusen, associated in one eye with idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis (Group 1B), basal laminar drusen, and foveal pseudovitelliform lesion. PATIENT: A 45-years old female patient, which complained about a deterioration of vision at the right eye, was ophthalmologically examined. RESULTS: The examination revealed a bilateral optic disc drusen, and on the right eye a macular haemorrhage. An examination after 2 months revealed a good vision, the resorption of the macular haemorrhage, idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis, basal laminal drusen, and a foveal pseudovitelliform lesion. CONCLUSIONS: The association is of importance because of the rarity of the haemorrhagic complication in the idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis (Group IB), the possibility of a pathogenic correlation, and the difficulty of differential diagnosis with the optic disc drusen complicated with retinal haemorrhages. This association was not found in the literature we consulted.
