Variability Within Individual Optic Nerve Optical Coherence Tomography Measures Distinguishes Papilledema from Pseudopapilledema

Abstract

A longstanding dilemma for the ophthalmologist is determining if an elevated optic nerve represents papilledema or pseudopapilledema. Previous studies looking at OCT have compared quadrant measurements, features of the subretinal fluid space and Bruch's membrane opening. Very little have utilized the clock hour data. We hypothesized that variability and magnitude of the RNFL thickness could differentiate papilledema from pseudopapilledema
