Description |
Early papilledema is usually asymptomatic. Even welldeveloped papilledema may produce minimal or no symptoms. Sometimes the only abnormality found on careful testing is mild to moderate enlargement of the physiologic blind spot. Other patients may be aware of their physiologic blind spot, and describe a negative scotoma in the temporal field of vision of one or both eyes. Still other patients have variable loss of visual acuity, visual field, or both. |
