Upper Limit of Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness in Patients with Pseudopapilloedema [PDF]
An initial misdiagnosis of papilloedema in a patient with optic nerve head swelling can be anxiety-provoking and may result in unnecessary, invasive, and costly tests. Cirrus high definition, spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (Cirrus HD-OCT) may provide a rapid and non-invasive test.

Improving the diagnostic accuracy of referrals for papilloedema (DIPP) study: protocol for a mixed-methods study [PDF]
Introduction Papilloedema can be the first sign of life-threatening disease, for example, brain tumours. Due to the potential seriousness of this clinical sign, the detection of papilloedema would normally prompt urgent hospital referral for further ...

Development of optic disc drusen in familial pseudopapilloedema: a paediatric case series [PDF]
Sir, Optic disc swelling in a child, with no other features suggestive of raised intracranial pressure is a challenging clinical scenario. These children frequently undergo invasive investigations, such as neuroimaging and lumbar puncture, even though the clinical suspicion of serious pathology is low.

Cervico-oculo-acusticus syndrome with pseudopapilloedema. [PDF]
The triad of the Klippel-Feil anomaly, Duane's retraction syndrome, and deaf-mutism was described by Wildervanck (1960) as the cervico-oculoacusticus syndrome. The Klippel-Feil anomaly essentially comprises a variety of bony deformities of the cervical spine, usually involving fusion, which appear clinically as a short neck with a limited range of ...

Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures-a novel entity as frequent cause of pseudopapilloedema in children. [PDF]
Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) are considered the most common cause for pseudopapilloedema in children. We aimed to investigate and further characterize a new type of optic nerve head lesion on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) named peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS), and ONHD in asymptomatic ...

Pseudopapilloedema in the linear naevus syndrome. [PDF]
This case report describes the ophthalmic findings in a child with the linear naevus syndrome. The patient was referred by the Department of Paediatric Neurology with 'unilateral papilloedema'. This was thought to be a form of pseudopapilloedema, a finding that has not been previously described in this syndrome.

Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures: multimodal imaging and associated diseases. [PDF]
Growing evidence has demonstrated that peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are novel structures rather than a subtype of optic disc drusen.

The usefulness of multimodal imaging for differentiating pseudopapilloedema and true swelling of the optic nerve head: a review and case series [PDF]
Ophthalmic practitioners have to make a critical differential diagnosis in cases of an elevated optic nerve head. They have to discriminate between pseudopapilloedema (benign elevation of the optic nerve head) and true swelling of the optic nerve head. This decision has significant implications for appropriate patient management.
