Swollen disc is a clinical sign of eye disease, neurological or systemic. It happened because of the increase in intracranial. Some of the conditions that cause swollen disc are optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, retinal vein occlusion, papilloedema, or pseudo-disc swelling (e.g drusen). In children, the incidence of swollen discs differs from that in adults.
