Assessment of pupillary response amplitude and velocity.Provides detail of the excavation of the optic discĪn afferent pupillary defect may be noted if the condition is both significant and asymmetric.It can also assist in document abnormal structural changes to the optic disc.Another means to evaluate optic disc morphology and elevation of optic nerve.Assist with documenting abnormal structural changes to the optic disc.Helps evaluate optic disc morphology and look for elevation of optic nerve.Patients can also have a decrease in color perception especially red hues appear dimmer.There may be an overall reduction in retinal sensitivity seen as well.
A visual field defect can be noted around the blind spot and the extent of edema corresponds to the visual field defect.Measurement of visual function / visual acuity helps determine improvement of vision as the inflammation resolves.The following diagnostic tests are used to determine the extent of structural and functional damage from papilledema: Patients with papilledema may present with any of the following abnormal signs and sypmtoms: Determine the monitoring schedule and prescribe a treatment program specific to the etiology.Identify and exclude any differential diagnosis.Determine the etiology of the papilledema.The main goal of the diagnostic evaluation in a patient with papilledema is to accomplish the following:
