Familial Pseudopapilledema
Abstract
Three families each of which contained several members with pseudopapilledema are described. Pseudopapilledema has been photographically and angiographically demonstrated in three generations of one family and in two generations of two other families. The various causes of pseudopapilledema are reviewed. The role of fluorescein angiography in differentiating pseudopapilledema from true edema of the optic nerve head is stressed. Recognition of familial occurrence may prove useful in identifying the true cause of pseudopapilledema.This content is limited to qualifying members.
