title: [Pathogenesis of papilledema in polycythemia].
abstract: In a 47-year-old man papilledema and hemorrhages of the fundus were found to be related to polycythemia and hyperviscosity of the blood. The pathologic blood flow properties were normalized by isovolemic hemodilution, and reabsorption of the papilledema and hemorrhages was accomplished as a result.
