A 27 year-old female presented to the emergency department with a two week history of headache, posterior eye pain, and visual changes. A bedside ultrasound was performed demonstrating a dilated optic nerve sheath and a bulging optic disc protruding into the posterior chamber consistent with papilledema. A CT of the head was unremarkable and an LP was performed with opening pressure of 36 mmH2O consistent with intracranial hypertension.
