Scope note: Inflamación del DISCO ÓPTICO, generalmente asociada con un aumento de la presión intracraneal, caracterizada por hiperemia, borramiento de los márgenes del disco, microhemorragias, crecimiento de la mancha ciega y engrosamiento de las venas de la retina. El papiledema crónico puede ocasionar ATROFIA ÓPTICA y pérdida de la visión. (Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, p175)

Scope note: Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure, characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind spot enlargement, and engorgement of retinal veins. Chronic papilledema may cause OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss. (Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, p175)
