Optic nerve drusen are benign, hyaline bodies located on the optic nerve head, found in 1-2% of the population. They are usually asymptomatic but can cause disc elevation and be mistaken for papilledema. Papilledema, on the other hand, is a pathologic condition characterized by optic disc edema due to increased intracranial pressure. Funduscopy and optical … Read more

Spontaneous venous pulsation is a visible pulsation in the veins that occurs spontaneously, without any external pressure. It is a sign of increased venous pressure or decreased peripheral resistance. Increased venous pressure can result from cardiac conditions such as heart failure or constrictive pericarditis, where the heart’s pumping action is impaired. Decreased peripheral resistance can … Read more
The intertrochanteric line of the femur is an anatomical landmark on the proximal end of the femur. It is a prominent ridge that runs obliquely from the greater trochanter to the lesser trochanter. The intertrochanteric line serves as an attachment point for several muscles, including the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and piriformis. It also provides … Read more
