Papilledema

Video Poster
Dr. Scott Haines, neuro-ophthalmologist, gives an interactive lecture on Papilledema, the swelling of the optic disc due to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Why does it occur? How is it diagnosed and treated? What does this mean for those with intracranial hypertension (IIH)? Is this something patients with pressure issues or shunts need to be concerned with? Are transient visual obscurations related to vertebral artery compression?

Test your skills on identifying which grade of papilledema is depicted in a few examples!

This lecture was given at St. Louis Children's Hospital on September 23rd. (2024)
