Swelling of the optic disc occurs when there is obstruction of axonal transport at the level of the lamina cribrosa. This may result from compression, ischemia, inflammation, metabolic, or toxic disturbances. In some cases, infiltration of the proximal portion of the disc by inflammatory or malignant processes causes an appearance that is indistinguishable from true swelling. In other cases, congenital anomalies of the optic disc produce an appearance that mimics swelling of the optic disc
