Papilloedema refers to optic disc swelling caused by raised intracranial pressure, leading to axoplasmic flow stasis within the optic nerve head. It is a critical clinical sign that often indicates an underlying intracranial pathology such as a mass lesion, hemorrhage, venous sinus thrombosis, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
