Abstract
To clarify the nature of mulberry-like excresences of the optic disk, we histopathologically studied the eye of a 66-year-old woman with retinitis pigmentosa. Examination showed that the optic nerve excresences were ordinary drusen and not hamartomas. There was a marked predisposition to mineralization of other intraocular structures.Entities:
