BACKGROUND Very asymmetric papilledema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is rare, and few studies have dealt with this atypical presentation of IIH. Our aim was to describe the clinical and radiologic features of patients with IIH and very asymmetric papilledema. METHODS We identified all adult patients from our IIH database with very asymmetric papilledema defined as a ≥2 modifie...

Papilledema and raised intracranial pressure have been reported in association with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Papilledema is usually asympotomatic or associated with mild visual field defects, without any visual loss. The cerebrospinal fluid protein is usually reported to be high. A case of a 35 year old lady is reported, who presented with headache, diplopia and progressive visual loss in both ...

Bilateral papilledema secondary to obstructive or communicating hydrocephalus in patients with vestibular schwannomas is a known presentation; however, papilledema in the absence of hydrocephalus is rarely reported and its mechanism is poorly understood. We report a case of a 20-year-old woman presenting with visual deterioration and bilateral papilledema on fundoscopy. Magnetic resonance imagi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate macular changes in eyes with papilledema from increased intracranial pressure using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Fifty-five patients with papilledema seen during 1998 and 1999 were studied with OCT of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer. Nineteen of these also had OCT of the macula during periods of acute, subacute, or recurrent papilledema and w...

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 va...

Pseudopapilledema is a fairly common finding in ophthalmic practice, and in many cases, the diagnosis is straightforward. However, an accurate diagnosis can challenge the most seasoned clinicians, and missing true papilledema can result in life-threatening or vision-threatening consequences. In this review, we describe the clinical findings and a diagnostic algorithm to distinguish pseudopapill...

CASE REPORT We present the case of a 54-year-old woman with papilledema associated to POEMS syndrome. The presence of intracranial hypertension was detected and treatment started with acetazolamide. DISCUSSION The most common ophthalmological pathology in POEMS syndrome is papilledema, the etiology of which could be infiltrative, intracranial hypertension, inflammation or an increase of the v...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) on papilledema grade in the operated eyes and the contralateral nonoperated fellow eyes in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). DESIGN Retrospective review. PARTICIPANTS A total of 78 patients underwent ONSF, and 20 patients served as controls. METHODS Charts of patients with IIH who had ONSF at ...
