Question

What does a "choked disc," or papilledema,indicate?
A) Increased intraocular pressure
B) Glaucoma
C) Increased intracranial pressure
D) Strabismus

Accepted Answer

Papilledema, or a choked disc, indicates increased intracranial pressure. This pressure can compress the optic nerve at the back of the eye, causing swelling and potentially leading to vision loss if left untreated. It is important to identify and address the underlying cause of the increased intracranial pressure.
