Pseudopapilledema is used for pathologies that mimicking the optic disc edema. Among these, pseudo papilledema is commonly produced by optic disc drusen (ODD). A 17-year-old female patient was referred to the ophthalmology department from child neurology department with papilledema diagnosis because of bilateral elevated and blurred optic disc. Following ophthalmologic evaluation with fundus examination, B-scan ultrasound, red-free fundus photography with revealed autofluorescence the diagnosis of papilledema was excluded in the case and optic disc drusen was diagnosed. Swelling of optic disk and blurs of the optic disk margins is not equal papilledema. It is important to keep up pseudopapilledema in the differential diagnosis of papilledema.
