This is an excellent current review article describing the various surgical options available for vision-threatening papilledema associated with increased intracranial pressure. This article summarizes the indications for surgical intervention as well as the relative benefits and risks of the surgical options to reduce intracranial pressure and increased pressure around the optic nerves.
