Preferred Label : papilledema;
MeSH definition : Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure,
characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind
spot enlargement, and engorgement of retinal veins. Chronic papilledema may cause
OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss. (Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed,
