| Description |
The differential diagnosis of papilledema (with normal visual acuity and bilaterality) includes anomalous elevation of one or both optic discs and true optic disc swelling caused by some etiologies other than increased ICP. In most cases, the patients have no neurologic or systemic symptoms or signs referable to increased ICP, and this lack of manifestations should help the physician focus on other possibilities. |
