Pseduopapilledema: Glial remnant on optic disc, persistant hyaloid tissue (Bergmeister's papilla)

Morning glory coloboma of disc

Optic disc of hypoplasia

Early papilledema -- blurring (swelling) of peripapillary NFL, blurring of disc margins (inferior-superior poles)

Early papilledema -- splinter flame-shaped NFL hemorrhage (left), NFL swelling (right), disc hyperemia, optic nerve cupping retained

Papilledema -- both disc margins are obscurred and nerve is becoming elevated due to swelling. Can also see hemorrhage at 5 o'clock

Stages of papilledema -- venous engorgement, disc hyperemia (dilation of disc capillaries)

Drusen of optic nerve

Drusen of optic nerve

Swollen disc

Moderate papilledema -- increased disc hyperemia, elevation of dic surface, obscuration of BVs crossing disc surface, thickening & opacification of NFL, venous engorgement & increased tortuosity

Moderate papilledema -- Optic nerve cupping lost, Paton's lines appear as circumferential "wrinkles" adjacent to the disc

Chronic papilledema

Chronic papilledema

Atrophic papilledema – chronic disc edema

Atrophic papilledema -- resolving edema



Atrophic papilledema with disc pallor

Atrophic papilledema

Papillitis OD

Fully developed papilledema -- lipid exudates, marked disc elevation, increased disc hyperemia, obscuration of BVs crossing disc surface, venous engorgement & increased tortuosity, CWS, retinal hemorrhages

Chronic papilledema -- less disc hyperemia; decrease in edema, CWS, hemorrhages; less NFL swelling as atrophy of NFL begins; without viable NF there is less axoplasmic obstruction so less clinical presentation

Atropic papilledema -- marked reduction in edema, hemorrhages; sheathing of retinal vessels; pallor of optic nerve

Atropic papilledema -- optociliary shunt vessel formation; retinochoroidal venous collateral vessels bypass region of obstruction.

Optic neuritis (papillitis) -- unilateral optic nerve edema

Optic neuritis (papillitis) -- right optic nerve is edematous, white and smudged borders, disc margin is obscured. Will present with APD and color desaturation

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) --


left: Acute AION -- unilateral nerve edema, disc hemorrhage common


right: old "inactive" AION -- optic nerve atrophy with pallor

Non-arteritic (NAION) -- optic nerves small in diameter with small cupping

AION OD, optic nerve pallor & atrophy OS from previous AION episode

AION & NAION -- disc hemorrhage (left) & unilateral optic nerve pale edema - sectoral (right)

Altitudinal VF defect in AION and NAION

Pseudopapilledema -- optic nerve appearance simulates disc edema

left: persistant hyaloid tissue (Bergmeister's papilla)


middle: medullated nerve fibers


right: hyperopia - small optic nerves, nerve hypoplasia

Pseduopapilledema -- drusen of the optic nerve; yellowish glistening spheres on or within the optic nerve. Nerves appear elevated "full" or "swollen"

Pseduopapilledema -- drusen of the optic nerve;


left: peripapillary region RPE irregular


middle left: retinal vessels exit nerve centrally


middle right: retinal vessels anomalous branching patterns


right: retinal vessels clearly visible crossing disc surface

Pseduopapilledema -- drusen of the optic nerve; disc margins poorly defined, no or very small physiological cup, VF defects: progressive & varied

Drusen of the optic nerve:


1) retinal vessels: exit nerve centrally, clearly visible crossing disc surface, anomalous branching


2) disc color WNL or slightly hyperemic


3) peripapillary RPE irregular


4) disc margins poorly defined


5) no or very small physiological cup


6) disc appears slightly "full" "swollen"


7) yellowish glistening spheres


8) no hemorrhage


9) no venous engorgement


10) no CWS
