Papilledema Associated with Pseudotumor Cerebri (1)

Papilledema Associated with Pseudotumor Cerebri (1)
The right optic disc exhibits marked, albeit chronic, optic disc swelling. Note the fluffy appearance of the disc margin, surrounded by a smooth, opaque, olive-colored annulus. The latter represents nerve fibers coursing down the sides of the elevated disc before turning abruptly into the plane of the retina. In addition, there may be a small amount of peripapillary subretinal fluid. Note also the obscuration of retinal vessel as they traverse the disc margins.
