What Is Papilledema?

Papilledema is a condition that leads to optic nerve swelling. With this health issue, there is the problem of pressure in or around the brain which might come up with many causes. It is imperative that you visit the best Eye Hospital Punjab to manage your condition in a better manner. When you consult the doctor on time, it will be easier to point out whether you have to undergo Lasik Surgery in Punjab to get your eye health in the right place. Bear in mind, the condition of Papilledema is serious and if not treated on time then it can lead to vision loss.

What are the causes of papilledema?

The brain contains nerves, fluid, and blood that are present inside the skull. As the space is limited so when the tissue swell, there is a problem that the nerves will start pressuring the nerves, and this way it can lead to papilledema. The problem can happen due to different reasons like:

  • Head injury
  • Brain bleeding
  • Brain inflammation which has covering like the meningitis
  • Brain bleeding
  • High blood pressure
  • Blood clot or problem with the veins
  • Pus gets collected from the brain infection
  • The issue with the flow or the fluid is in excess that it goes through the spinal cord & brain

Well! There is no clear reason why blood pressure increases in the skull but it is known as IIH (Idiopathic intracranial hypertension)

What are the symptoms of papilledema?

During the early stage, there are no symptoms but the doctor can suggest you get a routine examination. This will help you understand whether you have this condition or not. If the problem is progressing then it means there are vision issues that can impact both the eyes. It is possible that you will have other unwanted symptoms related to the eye problem. If the condition is not treated on time, then there are high chances that it can lead to permanent blindness.

How papilledema is diagnosed?

The eye doctor will use the tool which is known as an ophthalmoscope which helps to look at the back of the eyes and diagnose papilledema. In addition, an imaging test is done which includes MRI to understand better what is the reason that pressure is put on the brain. Following that MRI will help you to understand better what treatment plan will suit your condition the best.

What are the possible treatment options?

The doctor can suggest antibiotics for the brain infection, surgery to drain the abscess, or then remove the tumor. The medicine can help the blood clot to dissolve. In addition, the doctor will ask you to come for regular testing to make sure there are not any vision issues. In case, the condition seems to be serious then the doctor can suggest you some other treatment plan to make your health better.
