Papilledema (or papilloedema) is optic disc swelling that is caused by increased intracranial pressure.

Retinal papilloedema and/or fundal hemorrhages and exudates are another sign of target organ damage.

Papilloedema is a common sign of POEMS syndrome, occurring in a significant proportion of cases.

Anorexia, skin lesions, hair loss, hepatosplenomegaly, papilloedema, bleeding, general malaise, pseudotumor cerebri, and death may also occur.

Unfortunately, signs of elevated intracranial pressure such as papilloedema and loss of pupillary reflexes are not reliable and occur late in the disease process.

Behr specialized in the study of neuro-ophthalmological disorders, making contributions in his research involving the pathological processes in papilloedema and tabetic optic atrophy.

Other ocular findings that can be seen include conjunctival aneurysms, posterior spoke-like cataracts, papilloedema, macular edema, optic atrophy and retinal vascular dilation.

A lesion in this vicinity is consistent with the apraxia and vertigo from which Mr Turner suffers, and with a marked papilloedema of the left eye which is apparent on examination with the ophthalmoscope.

Several authorities have stated that malignant hypertension (implying the presence of arterial fibrinoid necrosis and usually a diastolic blood pressure <140 mm Hg with retinal changes such as haemorrhages, exudates and papilloedema) is rare in diabetics and that generally the degree of hypertension tends not to be severe (Drury, 1983).

Papilledema is absent but there may be reduction of vision.

These may be used in severe papilledema, but otherwise their use is discouraged.

Papilledema may be asymptomatic or present with headache in the early stages.

Specifically, high blood pressure can cause papilledema, a swelling of the optic disc.

Papilledema is mostly seen as a symptom resulting from another pathophysiological process.

His cognitive functioning was normal, except for ataxia and papilledema.

Patients with preexisting papilledema or with involvement of the central nervous system may be at higher risk.

Papilledema must be present before a diagnosis of malignant hypertension can be made.

As above but with swelling of the optic disk (papilledema)

In a similar case, a 44-year-old woman admitted to the hospital displayed ataxia, dysphonia, and papilledema.

It is also commonly associated with bilateral papilledema.

It differs from other complications of hypertension in that it is accompanied by papilledema.

It is used to find papilledema which is sometimes the only symptom of elevated intracranial pressure shown in these children.

Intracranial hypertension with papilledema may be present.

"Have you ever seen papilledema?"

Unilateral papilledema can suggest orbital pathology, such as an optic nerve glioma.

However, the root cause of papilledema is the increased intracranial pressure (ICP).

If papilledema is protracted, it may lead to visual disturbances, optic atrophy, and eventually blindness.

Long-term untreated papilledema leads to visual loss, initially in the periphery but progressively towards the center of vision.

In intracranial hypertension, papilledema most commonly occurs bilaterally.

Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure may include headaches, vomiting, nausea, papilledema, sleepiness or coma.

True papilledema may present with exudates or cotton-wool spots, unlike ODD.

Longstanding papilledema leads to optic atrophy, in which the disc looks pale and visual loss tends to be advanced.

Papilledema of the eyes has been observed (2%) and may lead to disturbed visual acuity and even temporary or permanent blindness.

Thus, a biopsy is routinely performed prior to the treatment in the initial stages of papilledema to detect whether a brain tumor is present.
