Abstract
Papilledema is defined as a secondary edema of the optic disc caused by the increased intracranial pressure [1]. A variety of intracranial diseases will lead to increased intracranial pressure, such as intracranial space-occupying lesion, various forms of hydrocephalus, intracranial infection, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) (Fig. 28.1).
