Overview
MRI is a useful imaging modality to evaluate the patient for a variety of causes of intracranial hypertension.
MRI
- Even if the most frequent etiology of papilledema is idiopathic intracranial hypertension, the clinician must check for the absence of any signs or symptoms related to hypertension secondary to a cerebral tumor or to cerebral venous thrombosis.
- The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography is useful if there is a clinical suspicion of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.[1]
