The most common cause of ODE seen in neuro-ophthalmology clinics was IIH, and these patients were more likely to present with preserved visual function. The higher prevalence of IIH was likely why most patients with ODE were women. Visual function at presentation was not able to differentiate the specific cause of papilledema; however, it was an important differentiating factor for all papilledema cases compared with all other causes of ODE including ON and NAION.
