Re: Chang et  al.: Accuracy of diagnostic imaging modalities for classifying pediatric eyes as papilledema versus pseudopapilledema (Ophthalmology. 2017;124:1839-1848)

We read with much interest the article by Chang et  al,1 which evaluated the accuracy of diagnostic imaging modalities for papilledema (PE) versus pseudopapilledema (PPE) in pediatric patients. We concur with our colleagues regarding the importance of reaching the correct diagnosis, given the potentially life-threatening consequences when PE is mis classified as PPE. We would, however, like to temper their statement that the best imaging technique rests with fluorescein angiography (FA).
