Retro bulbar neuritis REF: Neuro-ophthalmology: the practical guide, By Leonard A. Levin page 101 Optic Disc Edema: Possible diagnostic consideration of appearance of optic disc edema is to determine whether the disc edema is pathological or just the disc itself is congenitally elevated (Pseudopapilledema). A reliable indicator of Pseudopapilledema is the presence of anomalous vessels on the disc. Now if disc is truly swollen then its turn to decide, it is due to increased ICT (papilledema) or any other cause of disc edema.
