Nipple atrophy on one side and edema on the other

Introduction Intrinsic is more common in the tumor or abscess at the bottom of the frontal lobe of the brain, such as internal carotid aneurysm, olfactory sulcus meningioma, anterior cranial skull meningioma, craniopharyngioma and so on. Others such as the internal carotid artery fusiform expansion, internal carotid artery sclerosis, anterior cranial fossa trauma, anterior cranial arachnoiditis can also cause axillary nipple atrophy and edema on the other side. Since one side of the optic nerve is first atrophied by direct compression of the tumor, the intracranial pressure is increased due to the continued growth of the tumor, resulting in edema of the contralateral papilla.

Cause

The cause of atrophy of one side of the nipple and the cause of edema on the other side:

Ipsilateral frontal lobe tumors can lead to primary optic atrophy, contralateral optic edema, the so-called Forster Kennedy syndrome.

One side of the nipple is atrophy, and the other side of the edema is diagnosed and diagnosed:

Through fundus examination, if one side of the eye is light or pale, it is atrophic, and the other eye is bulging, the edge is blurred, and it is edematous, that is, one side of the nipple is atrophy and the other side is edematous.

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of atrophy of one side of the nipple and confusion of the other side of the edema:

Foster-Kennedy syndrome is a symptom of frontal lobe tumors. The frontal lobe tumor is a common intracranial tumor, and its incidence rate is about 1/5 of the total number of intracranial tumors in the first part of the tumor. Glioma is often the most, accounting for 25.57% of the total number of intracranial gliomas; followed by meningioma accounting for 11.45% of the total number of intracranial meningiomas; in addition, congenital tumors, metastases, etc., often occur in this area Frontal lobe tumors are more common in adults, and there is no significant difference in gender. Although this tumor is common, it is not perfect for understanding the anatomical structure and neurophysiological function of the frontal lobe. In the past 20 years, with the continuous advancement of neurosurgery, neurophysiology, and neuropsychiatry, the neurophysiology of the frontal lobe Although the symptoms caused by functional and frontal lobe lesions are further understood, there is still a lack of comprehensive and comprehensive understanding, especially the right frontal lobe is often considered to be a dumb zone or a quiet zone. Such patients have no obvious clinical symptoms and signs in the early stage, and rarely have significant dysfunction, which brings great difficulties to early diagnosis and has certain effects on the therapeutic effect and prognosis.

Through fundus examination, if one side of the eye is light or pale, it is atrophic, and the other eye is bulging, the edge is blurred, and it is edematous, that is, one side of the nipple is atrophy and the other side is edematous.
