1 | Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis with Papilledema | A case of superior sagittal sinus, right transverse sinus and right sigmoid sinus thrombosis, presenting with increased intracranial pressure (headaches, bilateral sixth palsy and papilledema). Figure 1 : Disc photos of the right and left eyes demonstrating bilateral disc edema. Figure 2 : Non-contr... | Supharat Jariyakosol, MD; Valérie Biousse, MD | |
2 | Large Frontal Meningioma with Mass Effect and Increased Intracranial Pressure | This is a case of frontal meningioma presenting with raised intracranial pressure and bilateral papilledema responsible for visual loss. Figure 1: Goldmann visual field of the left eye. In the right eye, there was no response to the V4e. The visual field is severely constricted in the left eye. Fig... | Rabih Hage, MD; Valérie Biousse, MD | |
3 | Choroidal Neovascular Membrane in Chronic Papilledema | A 21-year-old woman with papilledema from idiopathic intracranial hypertension developed a peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (PCNVM) complicating untreated chronic papilledema 10 years later. | George Alencastro; Valerie Biousse | |
4 | Typical Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Optic Nerve Appearance and Brain MRI Findings | A 24-year old African American woman was referred for bilateral optic disc edema that was incidentally noted on a routine eye examination. She had excellent visual function and dilated examination showed bilateral optic disc edema with peripapillary wrinkles in the right eye and pseudodrusen in the ... | Jonathan A. Micieli, MD; Valérie Biousse, MD | |
5 | Colloid Cyst Hydrocephalus | This is a case of colloid cyst of the third ventricle complicated by severe hydrocephalus, raised intracranial pressure and papilledema. Figure 1: Fundus photographs demonstrating bilateral optic nerve head edema Figure 2a and 2b: T1-weighted axial brain MRI without contrast: Dilation of both later... | Rabih Hage, MD; Valérie Biousse, MD | |
6 | Pineal Gland Mass Causing Severe Papilledema | The pineal gland is a neuroendocrine gland that resides in the epithalamus, at the root of the third ventricle. Due to its close proximity to the ventricles, masses in the pineal region can lead to obstruction of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and subsequent raised intracranial pressure. Here, we p... | Nithya Shanmugam; Valerie Biousse |
