What Is Papilledema?
8. Diagnosis
Doctors use a device called an ophthalmoscope to examine the eye internally in the diagnosis of papilledema. MRI imaging may also be used for more details, and to find out what could be causing the increase in intracranial pressure. During treatment, MRI is used to monitor the efficacy of the treatment.
Once papilledema has been diagnosed, further tests will usually be required to determine its cause, and therefore, help plan for the best treatment.
