choked disk”; optic disk swelling and elevation, almost always bilateral, frequently accompanied by indistinct optic disk margins, hyperemia of the optic disk, hemorrhages around the disk, engorgement and tortuosity of retinal veins, absence of the spontaneous venous pulses, Paton's lines (circumferential retinal microfolds in the region surrounding the disk), and usually normal vision but an enlarged blind spot; occurs due to an increase in intracranial pressure from disorders such as a tumor or abscess, cerebral trauma or hemorrhage, meningitis, arachnoidal adhesions, cavernous or dural sinus thrombosis, encephalitis, space-occupying brain lesions, severe hypertensive disease, pulmonary emphysema, and pseudotumor cerebri
Non-inflammatory optic disc swelling due to increased intracranial pressure.
edema of the optic disc (papilla)
Swelling of the optic nerve head, can be seen in the back of the retina during eye examination.
A condition in which increased pressure around the brain causes the optic nerve to swell where it enters the eye.
optic-disc swelling produced by increased intracranial pressure.
1. Oedema of the optic Disc (papilla), most commonly due to increased intracranial pressure, malignant hypertension, or thrombosis of the central retinal vein. Synonym: Choked disc source
Swelling around the optic nerve, usually due to pressure on the nerve by a tumor.
Swelling of the optic nerve at the point of entrance into the eyeball. Choked disk.
Swelling of the optic nerve. Indicates increased intracranial pressure on the optic nerve. Also called choked disk.
swelling/bruising of the optic nerve due to increased ICP
non-inflammatory swelling/elevation of the optic nerve often due to increased intracranial pressure or space-occupying tumor
Swelling around the optic disk.
Swelling of the optic disk. May be due to an increase of pressure in the skull.
Papilledema (or papilloedema) is optic disc swelling that is caused by increased intracranial pressure. The swelling is usually bilateral and can occur over a period of hours to weeks. Papilledema occurs in approximately 50% of those with a brain tumour.
