Abstract

Papilledema, is a known complication of various spinal pathologies, It has, however, been only infrequently reported following spinal injury, and may be overlooked in these cases, Presented herein is a 27 year old male who suffered thoracic and lumbar spinal injuries, Papilledema following mild increase in intracranial pressure (IICP) developed 3 weeks following trauma, and subsided within 8 weeks, The importance of routine repeat ophthalmoscopic examinations following spinal injury to detect changes characteristic of IICP is emphasized.
