| Description |
Glaucoma studies have suggested that translaminar pressure gradients (TPG) may affect severity of optic nerve damage in glaucoma.(1) It has been demonstrated that CCT could possibly be a risk factor for developing ophthalmic disease from an altered TPG.(2) Alterations of TPG by decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP) have also been implicated in the development of papilledema.(3- 4) Subgroups of patients with IIH and papilledema are at higher risk for severe vision loss, including black patients, men, and patients; with fulminant presentations.(5) Our goal was to determine if CCT is related to severity of papilledema and vision loss in IIH. |
