Papilledema and related clinical and paraclinical visual assessment in cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis versus idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis) is a life-threatening disorder which can present with papilledema.

We investigated if papilledema severity, related clinical features, and paraclinical visual assessment, can be used to differentiate between cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis and intracranial hypertension-related papilledema, this way trying to improve a priori probability for both conditions at the bedside.
