“…9,39,103 Papilledema may develop from raised intracranial pressure from CNS infections or neoplastic processes. Papilledema in AIDS patients has been reported in cryptococcal meningitis, [104][105][106][107][108][109] cerebral toxoplasmosis, herpes zoster, neurosyphilis, 110 cytomegalovirus, 111 lymphoma, 112 tuberculous meningitis and tuberculoma.…”

Neuro-ophthalmic problems are known to occur both in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and AIDS. Central nervous system (CNS) opportunistic infections and malignancies such as lymphoma are the major source of these problems but some result from the direct effect of the virus on the CNS. Both the afferent visual pathway and efferent ocular motor system may be affected. Neuro-ophthalmic signs may sometimes be the initial manifestation of AIDS. A variety of neuro-ophthalmic manifestations may be encountered in the same patient. Several large studies on the ophthalmic features of AIDS have included neuroophthalmic manifestations in their series. However dedicated comprehensive review articles on this subject are few. Despite the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), neuro-ophthalmic manifestations still remain a problem in HIV. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the neuro-ophthalmic sequelae of AIDS.

“…Secondary involvements of the optic disc are rare and may appear in cases of lymphoma, leukemia, lung, breast, and renal carcinoma, signet-cell gastric carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix (8)(9)(10). Melanocytoma and ONSM may be primary and secondary [11][12][13]. Optic disc edema always warrants a careful search for the cause.…”

AbstractWe present three different cases of patients with papilledema: one case with a primary tumour of the optic nerve, and two cases with secondary involvement of the optic nerve (breast carcinoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma). The visual acuity varies from sudden, painless, decrease of vision, to blurred vision and proptosis on the affected eye. A characteristic ophthalmoscopic examination shows a swollen optic disc and promonence with tortuosity of blood vessels. A fluorescein angiography shows dilated capillaries of the optic disc with leakage in the early phase and diffuse hyperfluorescence during the late phase. A ultrasonography B-scan of the affected eye shows prominent optic nerves with widened optic nerve sheath. An exhaustive history and complete ophthalmological examination are essential for the diagnosis, to which fluorescein angiography, B-scan ultrasonography, ocular coherent tomography, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance can be used as useful additional tests. Treatment and prognosis depend on the primary process. We emphasize the crucial role of ophthalmologist in the early diagnosis of CNS neoplasia.
