Subject High Intracranial Pressure/Headache; Pseudotumor Cerebri
Description Papilledema is optic disc edema due to increased intracranial pressure. The severity of papilledema grade may be related to the density of trabeculations in the subarachnoid space, magnitude of CSF pressure, or another mechanism. We investigated the relationship of CSF pressure to high Frisén papilledema grades (4 and 5), and the response to randomized treatment with acetazolamide plus diet versus placebo plus diet in the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial (IIHTT).
