Description Increasing incidence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), over-reported radiologic signs of IIH (rad-IIH), poor insurance coverage, difficult access to outpatient Neuro-ophthalmology and medical-legal concerns have lowered the threshold for urgent emergency department (ED) referral for 'papilledema'. We examined referral patterns and outcomes of Neuro-ophthalmology consultations (NOC) for papilledema at our institution.
