Summary
This study reports a case of prolonged papilledema caused by increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure after neck dissection. The patient fully recovered, highlighting potential visual complications from such procedures.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Otolaryngology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Papilledema, or swelling of the optic disc, can result from increased intracranial pressure.
- Radical neck dissection, a surgical procedure, can potentially lead to complications affecting intracranial pressure.
- Venous pathway anatomical variations may influence intracranial pressure dynamics post-surgery.
