Papilloedema associated with respiratory failure.

I F Pye, R L Blandford

    Postgraduate Medical Journal
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Papilloedema, or swollen optic nerves, can occur due to respiratory failure, mimicking other neurological conditions. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and reviews the link between respiratory failure and intracranial pressure.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Papilloedema is typically associated with increased intracranial pressure.
    • Respiratory failure can lead to neurological symptoms, but papilloedema is an uncommon presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of papilloedema secondary to respiratory failure.
    • To discuss the diagnostic difficulties and pathogenesis of this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Review of existing literature on papilloedema and respiratory failure.
    • Comparison with benign intracranial hypertension.

    Main Results:

    • Neurological symptoms like headache and visual impairment masked the underlying respiratory failure.
    • Gross haemorrhagic papilloedema was a prominent finding.
    • The pathogenesis shares similarities with benign intracranial hypertension.

    Conclusions:

    • Papilloedema in respiratory failure presents diagnostic challenges, often overshadowing respiratory symptoms.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Further research into the link between respiratory failure and intracranial pressure is warranted.
