Description

<p>　We report a case of papilledema secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension with hypertensive retinopathy. A 42-year-old woman with a history of untreated systemic hypertension showed severe bilateral optic disc swelling with retinochoroidal folds involving maculas, as well as retinal hemorrhages, hard exudates, and cotton-wool patches on ophthalmoscopic examination. Magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid evaluation revealed idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and she underwent lumboperitoneal shunt placement. The optic disc findings in this patient mimicked those associated with hypertensive retinopathy-induced disc swelling. We discuss a differential diagnosis of papilledema secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension.</p>
