| Description |
When papilledema persists, hemorrhages and exudates slowly resolve, and the disc develops a rounded appearance. The central cup, which may be retained in the acute phase of papilledema, ultimately becomes obliterated. Over a period of months, the initial disc hyperemia changes to a milky gray appearance, with hard exudates becoming apparent in the superficial disc substance. These exudates resemble optic disc drusen and may result in a misdiagnosis of pseudopapilledema. |
