  • Title: [Bilateral papilledema].
    Author: Rougier MB.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2017 May; 40(5):422-429. PubMed ID: 28483156.
    Abstract:
    This article will review the current standard of care in the diagnosis and management of bilateral optic disc edema. Two emergent conditions must be considered first: secondary intracranial hypertension (cerebral tumor, cerebral thrombophlebitis…) and arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (or giant cell arteritis). Having ruled out these two diagnoses, the management follows various steps in order to: (i) rule out pseudo-edema, and (ii) determine the underlying cause of the edema: papilledema, non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy or papillitis. Systematic cerebral imaging with contrast is required.
