A member asked:
Can opthalmoscopy detect brain tumor and what is the chance of opthalmoscopy to detect brain tumor??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suspicion: Ophthalmoscopy can detect papilledema, or swelling in back of eye, secondary to increased intracranial pressure from an enlarging tumor. However, it would not detect a small early lesion. An MRI or CAT scan would be more useful.
