Overview
Papilledema should be distinguished from pseudopapilledema
Differentiating of Papilledema from other Diseases
Papilledema should be distinguished from pseudopapilledema which is caused by
- Optic disc drusen:[1] These are globules of mucoproteins and mucopolysaccharides that progressively calcify. They are thought to be the remnants of the axonal transport system of degenerated retinal ganglion cells. Optic disc drusen have also been referred to as congenitally elevated or anomalous discs, pseudopapilledema, pseudoneuritis, buried disc drusen, optic nerve head drusen and disc hyaline bodies. Ophthalmoscopy and B-scan ocular ultrasonography allow appropriate diagnosis of optic disc drusen, which mimics papilledema.[2]This is important to avoid unnecessary interventions and anxiety
