Abstract

The case of a child with a familial anomalous hyperemia of the optic disk simulating early papilledema is presented. Idiopathic diabetes insipidus and headaches were also present. When one is confronted by a patient whose ocular findings suggest papilledema, frequent observation of his fundi over an extended period as well as examinations of other members of the family may help determine whether this is true papilledema, or a familial anomaly such as hyperemia of the disk.
