  • Title: Drusen of the optic disk in retinitis pigmentosa.
    Author: Novack RL, Foos RY.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1987 Jan 15; 103(1):44-7. PubMed ID: 3799789.
    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.
