| Abstract | PURPOSE: We quantitatively investigated the peripapillary vascular morphology in patients with optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) and optic disc edema (ODE). METHODS: Computer-based fundus analysis was used to investigate peripapillary vascular morphology, including length, branching, and diameter of arteries and veins calibrated by optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: Patients with ONHD showed significantly larger diameters of arteries without branching (P = 0.05), and arteries after primary/before secondary branching (P = 0.04) and secondary venous branching started closer to the optic disc (P = 0.03) compared to healthy controls. The ODE patients had significantly reduced number of small peripapillary veins and larger number of veins without branching compared to ONHD and controls (P = 0.02). Anomalous branching with arterial and venous trifurcation presented in the ODE and ONHD groups, with significant higher prevalence in ODE patients for venous trifurcations compared to ONHD and controls (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: The diameter of vessels in ONHD patients were significantly larger in arteries without branching (P = 0.05), after primary branching (P = 0.04), and venous branching closer to the disc area (P = 0.03) compared to controls. The ODE patients demonstrated widening of the small peripapillary veins measured by a significantly larger number of veins without branching (P = 0.001 and P = 0.02, compared to controls and ONHD, respectively) and less small veins (P = 0.001 and P = 0.04, compared to controls and ONHD, respectively). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
