Description Foster Kennedy Syndrome is a constellation of signs that classically includes unilateral compressive optic atrophy, contralateral papilledema, anosmia, and the presence of an intracranial lesion. The syndrome is most frequently from meningiomas but may also be due to gliomas, frontal lobe abscesses, plasmacytomas, nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, cholesteatomas, and neuroblastomas. We describe a case of Foster Kennedy Syndrome secondary to an atypical neoplasm possessing characteristics of both a glioma and meningioma.
