Overview
Patients with papilledema usually present with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (headache, nausea, vomiting, diplopia, vision loss and altered consciousness) and can lead to vision loss if the underlying condition is not treated.
History and Symptoms
- May be asymptomatic
- Usually present with signs or symptoms of elevated intracranial pressure[1], such as
- May progress to enlargement of the blind spot, blurring of vision and visual obscurations (inability to see in a particular part of the visual field for a period of time)
- Total loss of vision may occur.
