Risk factors associated with progression from papilloedema to optic atrophy: results from a cohort of 113 patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the risk factors for atrophic progression of patients with papilloedema secondary to intracranial hypertension, using optical coherence tomography parameters.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Marseille University Hospitals' Ophthalmology departments between December 2015 and December 2021. All patients with papilloedema resulting from elevated intracranial hypertension at the initial presentation were included.

Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy as a Specific Sign of Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in the setting of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) to distinguish arteritic (A-AION) from nonarteritic (NA-AION) type.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional diagnostic evaluation.

Methods: PAMM was evaluated by 3 physicians blinded to diagnosis using macular spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
