What does this mean/look like?

Question

i have a bulging optic nerve and i want to know what it is

Answer 1

You apparently have an elevated optic nerve head.  This can be due to several causes.

1)  buried drusen of the nerve (don't worry too much about this one)

2)  inflammation to the nerve head (worry about this one)

3)  increased intracranial pressure (worry about this one)

4)  increased cerebro spinal fluid pressure (worry about this one)

5)  psuedotumor cerebri (don't worry too much about this one)

Only way to advise you on whether this is a problem or not is to have further testing performed to assess the cause.  This testing usually involves imaging studies such as an MRI.
