Papilledema and CSF Opening Pressure 27
I am having ringing in ears and dizziness for 3 weeks now.
Today, i got into hospital and they said that my optic nerve is swollen.
Its around 5.5mm in diameter.
They diagnosed it as Papilledema and then did lumber puncture.
Where CSF opening pressure was 27.
I am scared of some brain tumor or MS.
Please suggest what it could be?
Doctor is saying for surgery.
