Abstract

Pappilloedema 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.In this 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.
