Description Recent studies have suggested that intracranial pressure (ICP) may play a role in glaucoma, hypothesizing that the gradient between intraocular pressure (IOP) and ICP transmitted via the subarachnoid space of the optic nerve determines optic nerve conformation and axonal damage. This study was designed to assess the correlation between ICP and papilledema severity in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). We also assess the influence of IOP as a component of TPG on papilledema severity.
