INTRODUCTION: Optic Nerve Head Drusen (ONHD) are very rare among black patients but may cause more severe visual defects in these patients. The goal of our study was to describe the frequency of visual field defects secondary to OND in Afro-Caribbean patients and study the characteristics of their physical examination, color vision and contrast sensitivity.
METHODS: We carried out a prospective study at the Martinique university medical center on patients of African descent with ONHD diagnosed on fundus examination and B-scan ultrasonography. All patients received a complete neuro-ophthalmological examination. The primary study endpoint was the frequency of visual field defects. Secondary study endpoints were the results of ETDRS visual acuity, Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity chart, and 15 hue color vision test.
RESULTS: Sixteen eyes of 10 patients from 11 to 68 years of age were included. Forteen eyes (87%) had exposed ONHD. Eleven eyes (69%) showed a visual field defect: 9 eyes (69%) had an enlarged blind spot, and 9 eyes (69%) had an arcuate scotoma. 3 eyes (19%) had loss of ETDRS visual acuity, and 12 eyes (75%) showed loss of Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity. Five eyes (31%) had an abnormal color vision test.
CONCLUSION: This is one of the largest case series of ONHD in Black patients. The frequency of visual field defects was high but comparable to that of studies in other ethnic groups. Larger comparative studies are necessary to confirm these results.
