Other Imaging Findings
Optical Coherence Tomography
- In papilledema, the RPE/BM is commonly deflected inward, in contrast to eyes with NAION or optic neuritis.
- The RPE/BM angulation is presumed to be caused by elevated pressure in the subarachnoid space, does not correlate with the amount of RNFL swelling, and resolves as papilledema subsides.[1]
