As a neuro-ophthalmologist, I never use ultrasound to make a diagnosis of papilledema. I do use it to reveal optic nerve head drusen that also cause axoplasmic flow stasis and can mimic papilledema. A high quality set of fundus photos is very useful for determining the presence of optic disc edema.
