Primitive is related to the word prime, and the root of both words is primus, which is Latin for first. Since the phrase primitive man refers to the world's first people, you might think that the word primate has something to do with the similarity between early humans and monkeys, but it doesn't.
Common symptoms reported by people with Optic Disc Drusen. Reports may be affected by other conditions and/or medication side effects. We ask about general symptoms (anxious mood, depressed mood, insomnia, fatigue, and pain) regardless of condition. Treatments taken by people with Optic Disc Drusen.
Disc drusen are composed of small proteinaceous material that become calcified with advancing age. These deposits can be considered small tumors that develop within the optic nerve head, and may lead to an elevated disc (and therefore pseudopapilledema). They are bilateral in approximately 70% of cases.
