Bilateral optic disc swelling with headache turns out to be a case of optic disc drusen.
J Surg Pak Jan ;15(2):117-9.

Optic disc drusen, also known as hyaline bodies or colloidal bodies, are calcified nodules in the substance of optic nerve head caused by the products of axoplasmic transport in degenerated retinal ganglion cells. We report a case of 43 years old lady, who presented with headache and defective vision. Fundus examination revealed bilateral optic disc swelling. Later on, after investigations, it was revealed that optic disc swelling (pseudopapilledema) was due to deeply buried optic nerve head drusen and the headache was probably coincidental due to stresses and strains of life.
