Title Visual Outcomes in Patients Treated With Acetazolamide for Papilledema Secondary to Intracranial Mass Effect
Creator Kim Firn; Eman Hawy; Timothy Winter
Affiliation (KF) (TW) Loma Linda University; (EH) Eman Hawy
Subject High Intracranial Pressure/headache; Optic Neuropathy; Tumors; Visual Fields
Description Acetazolamide is routinely used by ophthalmologists to lower intracranial pressure in patients with papilledema, but the literature only supports its use in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. This study will analyze visual outcomes and RNFL thickness after optic disc edema resolution in patients treated with acetazolamide for papilledema caused by intracranial mass effect.
