P
appilloedema is a common condition often addressed by
ophthalmology and neurology/neurosurgery departments. All
patients with papilloedema should be suspected of harbouring
an intracranial mass. Usually presentation of this condition has
specific picture Etiological factors such as metastatic tumors,
hydrocephalus, brain bases are useful to know about as they
guide us to immediate, specific treatment. However, majority of
the cases are widely named - “idiopathic”. Series of investigations
of different varieties may aid us with diagnosis but management
has been always and still a controversial
dilemma.Inthis poster,
we are presenting few not fully understood cases of papilloedema
which presentation might be challenging for departments involved
as well as the management in which might be exhaustive for
both clinicians and patients.Hereby we adopted an approach in
order to summarise the investigation- pathway- and treatment of
papilloedema in our practice in the trust and hopefully to highlight
this and add to literature pool.
