    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Distinguishing true papilloedema from pseudopapilloedema presents diagnostic challenges in ophthalmology.
    • Accurate differentiation is vital for appropriate patient management and avoiding unnecessary interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and compare ancillary testing modalities for diagnosing optic disc swelling.
    • To provide examples, advantages, and disadvantages of each diagnostic method.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic modalities including ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, MRI with venography, and lumbar puncture.
    • Discussion of the evolving role of optical coherence tomography in differentiating optic disc edema from optic disc drusen.

    Main Results:

    • Various imaging and invasive tests aid in identifying true optic disc edema (ODE).

  • Optical coherence tomography shows promise for differentiating buried optic disc drusen from ODE.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of optic disc swelling requires careful consideration of clinical presentation and ancillary testing.
    • A comprehensive understanding of available diagnostic tools is essential for ophthalmologists.
