Purpose: Ophthalmologists often are asked to evaluate the optic disc for evidence of acute
increased intracranial pressure (ICP). The authors studied the incidence of papilledema in a …

Papilledema is a swelling of the optic disc secondary to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP).
We analyzed 79 peer-review journal articles and provided a concise summary of the …

The term 'papilledema'is used to describe swelling of the optic disc that is thought or known
to be associated with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) transmitted to the subarachnoid …

Papilledema has long been recognized as a valuable sign of increased intracranial
pressure (ICP). But because papilledema is based on interruption of the energy-dependent …

Optic disc edema in raised intracranial pressure was first described in 1853. Ever since,
there has been a plethora of controversial hypotheses to explain its pathogenesis. I have …

Papilledema is optic nerve head edema secondary to raised intracranial pressure (ICP). It is
distinct from other causes of optic disk edema in that visual function is usually normal in the …

Although asymmetric or unilateral optic disk swelling is unusual in patients with increased
intracranial pressure, we treated three such patients. Two (a 31-year-old man and a 31-year …

Background: Patients are referred to ophthalmologists to evaluate for papilledema when
they are found to have elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. However, some of these …

By definition, papilledema is optic disc edema (ODE) because of raised intracranial pressure
(ICP). It is important to differentiate papilledema from other causes of elevated optic nerves …

Background Elevated intracranial pressure (eICP) is a serious medical emergency that
