TODO - Optic nerve ultrasound is an established routine supplementary diagnostic tool for idiopathic intracranial pressure but it can also be helpful in avoiding  misdiagnoses. We describe a case of an obese 15- year-old girl with persistent  headaches, fundoscopic findings suggesting papilledema, normal brain imaging who  underwent two lumbar punctures with unremarkable cerebrospinal fluid findings before  ultrasound revealed optic disc drusen as the cause of the optic disc elevation.
