Course overview

This course provides a practical, diagnosis-focused approach to pediatric papilledema, emphasizing how to distinguish true papilledema from pseudopapilledema and anomalous optic nerves. Learners will review key history and exam findings, common optic nerve variants in children, and high-yield OCT patterns that aid differentiation. A stepwise diagnostic framework is reinforced through pediatric cases to reduce missed diagnoses and unnecessary testing.
