== Overview ==
'''''Synonyms and Keywords:''''' Papilloedema
Papilledema is defined as swelling of the [[optic disc]] that is caused by increased [[intracranial pressure]]. The swelling is usually bilateral and can occur over a period of hours to weeks.


==Pathophysiology==
==[[Papilledema overview|Overview]]==
As the [[optic nerve]] sheath is continuous with the [[subarachnoid space]] of the [[brain]] (and is regarded as an extension of the [[central nervous system]]), increased pressure is transmitted through to the optic nerve.  The brain itself is relatively spared from pathological consequences of high pressure. 


However, the anterior end of the optic nerve stops abruptly at the eye. Hence the pressure is asymmetrical and this causes a pinching and protrusion of the optic nerve at its head. 
==[[Papilledema historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


The fibers of the [[Ganglion cell|retinal ganglion cell]]s of the optic disc become engorged and bulge anteriorly.  Persistent and extensive optic nerve head swelling, or optic disc edema, can lead to loss of these fibers and permanent visual impairment.

==Differentiation of Papilledema from other Disorders==
Papilledema should be distinguished from [[pseudopapilledema]] which is caused by
*Optic disc drusen
*Tilted [[optic disc]]
 
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
Papilledema occurs in approximately 50% of those with a [[brain tumour]].


==Diagnosis==
==Diagnosis==
Checking the [[eye]]s for [[sign (medicine)|sign]]s of papilledema should be carried out whenever there is a clinical suspicion of raised [[intracranial pressure]]. Because of the (rare) possibility of a [[brain tumor]], ''[[pseudotumor cerebri]]'' or [[cerebral venous sinus thrombosis]], all of which can increase intracranial pressure, this examination has become common for patients suffering from [[headache]]s.
