Petrous tip
Early stage
• Optic disc show mild hyperaemia
with preservation of the optic cup.
• Indistinct peripapillary retinal
nerve striations and disc margins.
Papilloedema. ( Early)
Established
• VA is normal or reduced .
• Optic disc shows severe hyperaemia ,
moderate elevation with indistinct margin
and absence of the physiological cup.
• Venous engorgement , peripapillary flame
shaped hemorrhage ,frequently cotton
wool spots .
• Macular fan
• Blind spot is enlarged.
Papilloedema.- acute established
Chronic
• VA is variable and visual fields begin to
constrict
• Optic disc is not elevated
• Cotton wool spots and hemorrhages are absent
• Opto-cilliary shunt and drusen like crystalline
deposits may be present on the disc surface .
Papilloedema.-chronic
Atrophic (Secondary optic atrophy)
• VA is severely impaired .
B-scan ultrasonography
CT scan of brain
MRI of Brain
Venography
Lumbar puncture
Treatment
According to cause .
Neuro-surgical consultation .
Method of reducing ICP
Mannitol infusion
CSF withdrawal
Sedative –propofol, barbiturate
Control hyperventilation
Decompressive craniotomy
Removal of mass lesion if present
Hypothermia
Steriods
Treatment
Shunt technique
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Lumboperitoneal shunt
Ventriculoarterial shunt
Complication
Visual loss.
Chronic headche.
Complication related to lumbar puncture.
Complication related to shunt.
