Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us.
Papilledema is a condition in which increased pressure in or around the brain causes the part of the optic nerve inside the eye to swell.
Papilledema is usually caused by the following:
Brain tumor or abscess
Head injury
Bleeding in the brain
Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or its tissue coverings (meningitis)
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Uncontrolled, life-threatening hypertension
These conditions typically result in papilledema in both eyes.
Time for a second opinion,
