Popis: To evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and peripapillary vascular density (VD) changes in the pediatric group with optic disk drusen (ODD). Sixty eyes of 30 patients with buried ODD referred by the pediatric or neurology physicians to ophthalmology clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of papillary edema were included in this retrospective study. Sixty eyes of 30 healthy children were included as the control group. Thickness of RNFL (micrometer) and VD percentages (%) of the superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal quadrants of the peripapillary region of all cases were evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) device. The study and control groups were homogeneous in terms of age and gender. VD values were significantly lower in the study group for all four quadrants, when compared to controls (p
