ABSTRACT

Papilledema, when diagnosed, requires urgent management on the part of the treating specialist, as a number of life-threatening diseases are known to be associated with it. We report a rare case of papilledema diagnosed at our center. Multiple interventions helped us in clinching the diagnosis, as early magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbit of the patient turned out to be normal.
