Visual outcomes in a series of patients with papilledema and comorbid nutritional deficiency
Worsened vision loss despite papilledema resolution may occur in patients with comorbid nutritional deficiencies. Although we cannot prove a causative relationship with our case series, it may be worth considering screening for micronutrient deficiencies in at-risk patients, as these deficiencies can have visual consequences and are straightforward to treat.
