ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Papilledema is defined as optic disc edema secondary to increased intracranial pressure (ICP). It may be associated with serious conditions such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension and brain tumors. However, some benign conditions, such as optic nerve drusen, can mimic this presentation, configuring what is known as pseudopapilledema. Due to the funduscopy similarity between these entities, accurate differentiation is essential to avoid unnecessary interventions and ensure appropriate management of intracranial hypertension. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the main diagnostic methods for differentiating papillary drusen from papilledema in the evaluation of intracranial hypertension.
