Hello
Papilledema is disc swelling due to increase in intracranial pressure.
IIH is a form of papilledema in which MRI is normal.
Next investigation is MRV and CSF opening pressure and cytology.
iF everything is normal then you would need diamox tablets.
Having said that, kindly share your case file and reports so that I may guide you better

Hi
First of all, how was the papilloedema detected? What are the symptoms? Do you have any blurred vision, hypertensive or headache.
Sometimes the retinal picture gives a similar picture in some of the conditions but there is no papilloedema.
Next Steps
in case if you have the above conditions as mentioned, you need to get yourself evaluated.
