Pseudopapilledema is a normal variant of the optic disk, in which the disk appears elevated, with indistinct margins and a normal vascular pattern. Pseudopapilledema sometimes occurs in hyperopic individuals. Workup of the patient with papillitis includes lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. B. henselae infection can be detected by ...
In most patients, optic disc drusen are an incidental finding. It is important to differentiate them from other conditions that present with optic disc elevation, especially papilledema, which could imply raised intracranial pressure or tumors. True papilledema may present with exudates or cotton-wool spots, unlike ODD.
Papilledema (right) revealed by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (top) and laser Doppler imaging (bottom). Healthy contralateral eye (left). The signs of papilledema that may be seen using an ophthalmoscope include: venous engorgement (usually the first signs) loss of venous pulsation; hemorrhages over and/or adjacent to the optic disc
If the papilledema has been longstanding, visual fields may be constricted and visual acuity may be decreased. Visual field testing by automated perimetry is recommended as other methods of testing may be less accurate. Longstanding papilledema leads to optic atrophy, in which the disc looks pale and visual loss tends to be advanced. [5] [9]
In patients with headaches, the finding of swollen optic discs (papilledema) on ophthalmoscopy is a key sign indicating raised intracranial pressure, which may be due to conditions such as hydrocephalus, benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), and brain tumors. In glaucoma, cupped optic discs are seen.
Acro-oto-radial syndrome, also known as Pseudopapilledema blepharophimosis hand anomalies syndrome is a very rare hereditary disorder which is characterized by pseudopapilledema, hearing loss, cranio-facial dysmorphisms and hand/foot anomalies. [1] Unlike other genetic syndromes, people with this syndrome don't exhibit intellectual disabilities ...
Foster Kennedy syndrome is a constellation of findings associated with tumors of the frontal lobe. [1]Although Foster Kennedy syndrome is sometimes called "Kennedy syndrome", [2] it should not be confused with Kennedy disease, or spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, which is named after William R. Kennedy.
Diabetic papillopathy is a self-limiting disease that may affect both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Unilateral or bilateral optic disc edema may occur.
