AIM To study the usefulness of orbital ultrasonography in the diagnosis of papilledema. METHODS Fifty patients who were referred to the neurophthalmology clinic and clinically suspected to have papilledema were selected.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Changes at the optic nerve head on DWI in the presence of papilledema have not been systematically studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if hyperintensity of ON heads on DWI is associated with papilledema. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 19 patients (4 men, 15 women; median age, 32 years) with papilledema and 20 control participants (7 me...

Chronic headaches, associated with papilledema and pulsatile tinnitus without any neuroradiologic, cytobiochemical or cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities are suggestive of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). However the absence of the papilledema does not rule out this diagnosis. The reason why some patients do not develop papilledema in IIH is ignored, however there are some hypotheses c...

Superior sagittal sinus (SSS) obstruction causes intracranial hypertension, often requiring surgical stenting. Consensus on treating brain venous stenosis, another cause, is lacking. This study reports a case of SSS stenosis and hypertension treated with stenting, improving bilateral papilledema. A 51-year-old headache visual disturbance had papilledema field loss. MR venography showed leading ...

PURPOSE To develop an automated system that analyzes digital fundus images for staging and monitoring of optic disc edema (i.e., papilledema), due to raised intracranial pressure. METHODS A total of 294 retrospective, digital photographs of the right and left eyes of 39 subjects with papilledema acquired over the span of 2 years were used. Software tools were developed to analyze three featur...
