Understanding Papilledema, a Disease Suffered by Kurnia Meiga

"Dream - The figure of Kurnia Meiga has been widely discussed after promoting his emping, jersey, and several medals that are being sold to fund the treatment of his Papilledema disease."

The disease itself has been suffered by the former goalkeeper of the Indonesian National Team since 2017. As a result, Meiga was forced to retire from his career as an athlete at the age of 27. However, his career at Arema FC was at its peak.

Regardless of Meiga's current condition, Papilledema itself is a difficult disease to identify. So, what is papilledema and what are its causes? Read the following explanation.

What is Papilledema?

Papilledema is a condition characterized by swelling of the optic nerve in the eye due to increased pressure inside or around the brain. This condition is classified as a serious disease that can be fatal. The causes vary, but generally papilledema is caused by idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which is characterized by increased pressure inside the skull (intracranial).

Quoted from Brilio, patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension usually frequently experience headaches, nausea, blurred vision, and ringing in the head. Not only that, Papilledema can also be caused by brain tumors, head injuries, brain bleeding or inflammation, as well as blood clotting in certain major brain veins.

"What Are the Symptoms?"

Initially, Papilledema can cause changes in vision such as blurred vision. Double vision can also occur in some people.

The sufferer will blink more frequently, experience increased pressure in the brain, hear buzzing and throbbing sounds in the ears, have headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Although it does not cause pain in the eyes, Papilledema can lead to blindness in chronic conditions. That is why sufferers should immediately consult a doctor if they have experienced several symptoms of Papilledema.

"Doctor's Actions"

The doctor may prescribe corticosteroids if there is high pressure on the cerebrospinal fluid caused by a brain tumor. The patient may also be advised to undergo surgery or tumor removal as well as radiation therapy. Although it sounds chronic, Papilledema can actually be treated with weight loss, diuretics, and antibiotic consumption.

At first glance, Papilledema sounds like a life-threatening disease, but it is easily detectable. On the other hand, Meiga had difficulty getting a doctor's diagnosis and was considered healthy, so no medication was given at all.

"I just take medicine without being given, because there is no specific illness. There is no specific name for the illness, sir."

Fortunately, Meiga managed to obtain a diagnosis for his condition and undergo treatment despite facing difficulties in financing it. He also received medical assistance funds from the All-Indonesia Football Association (PSSI) some time ago.
