چکیده
Abstract Background Papilledema is optic disc pathology characterized by swelling of the occurring secondary to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), and it was proposed that ICP transferred along subarachnoid space nerve (ON) leading metabolic process interruptions MRI changes within ON head. This study aimed rule out if DWI ADC map can be used as a diagnostic tool for detection papilledema values helpful in grading. Result value significantly lower cases group (A) comparison with control (B). Conclusion Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) utilized diagnosis papilledema, grade.
