• Papilledema is a condition in which increased pressure in or around the brain causes the part of the optic nerve inside the eye to swell.

    Symptoms may be fleeting disturbances in vision, headache, vomiting, or a combination.
    Doctors make the diagnosis by looking in the person’s eye with an ophthalmoscope.
    The disorder causing increased brain pressure is treated as soon as possible.
