Description Background: Optic disc elevation may be related to true edema of the retinal nerve fibre layer from increased intracranial pressure (papilledema) or an anomalous disc elevation (pseudopapilledema). It is crucial to differentiate these entities, as they have vastly different clinical implications, while recognizing that multiple causes of disc elevation may coexist.
