title: [Papilledemas: clinical features in space-occupying lesions of the brain].
abstract: Neuroophthalmological symptoms were analyzed in 513 patients with papilledemas in space-occupying lesions of the brain. The ophthalmoscopic features of papilledemas, the pattern of visual impairments and the developmental pattern of papilledemas were considered. Several determinants of the clinical course of papilledemas, such as their stage, the grade of malignancy, and the site of a space-occupying lesion, and a patient's age, were identified. The ability to diminish visual functions generates a need for early detection of papilledemas in patients with space-occupying lesions of the brain and for timely neurosurgical treatment in order to normalize intracranial pressure.
