“…The mean age of the patients in our study was 32.54 ± 13.97 years which differs from the findings of the studies by Marques et al (2011) and Ozdamar et al (2009): 53.5 ± 22.9 years , and 43.0 ± 12.3 years respectively. However, in a study done on patients with papilledema, the most common age group was 31-40 years (Saoji et al, 2016), which is similar to our study.…”

Purpose: To evaluate the etiology and clinical presentation of cases with optic disc edema presenting to a tertiary eye center of Nepal. Background: The etiology of optic disc edema ranges from relatively benign to potentially sight and life threatening conditions. Till date very few studies have been done on disc edema in Nepal. Method: The authors conducted a prospective, descriptive study at B.P. Koirala Lions Center for Ophthalmic Studies (BPKLCOS), Nepal. All cases with disc edema presenting to the out patient department (OPD) from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 were included in the study. Results: Total 112 patients were included in the study, out of which diagnosis could be established in 99. The mean age of the patients was 32.54 ± 13.97 years with the majority being female. The most common cause of disc edema was idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) (37.5%,). Majority of the patients complained of isolated diminution of vision (38.4%). Among the eyes affected, 78.3% had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 6/6-6/18, 36.6% had color vision defect and 31.4% had reduced contrast sensitivity. The most common visual field defect was isolated enlarged blind spot (39.7 %). Conclusion: IIH followed by optic neuritis (ON) are the most common causes of disc edema. Conditions with disc edema mainly affect the age group 21-40 years with females affected 2.5 times more than males. Visual acuity, color vision and contrast sensitivity are deranged in majority of cases of ON and normal in majority of cases of IIH.

“…However the latter two studies involved cases with unilateral disc edema only. In the study by Saoji et al (2016) and Iijima et al (2014) on patients with papilledema and bilateral disc edema respectively, the most common causes of disc edema were ICSOL (53.3%) and brain tumor (44.4%) respectively.…”

“…Our study showed that the most common cause of bilateral optic disc edema is venous sinus thrombosis, which has a wide range of clinical symptoms from headache and blurred vision to convulsions, paralysis and other signs of localization. They were diagnosed with a cerebral MRI with MRV, and their visual acuity outcome was good, as all patients with CVT improved without the need for surgery, while the results of studies Crum, Olivia M et al [ 15 ], Sachedva, Virender et al [ 16 ] and Parajuli et al [ 17 ] showed that the most common cause for them is IIH, which is a diagnosis with excluded, as an MRI and CSF puncture was performed, then the opening pressure was measured to diagnose IIH while in a study by Saoji et al [ 18 ] and a study by Iijima et al [ 19 ], intracranial space occupying lesions and brain tumor were the most common causes of disc edema, respectively.…”
