| Description |
This 36-year-old man noticed blurry vision in his right eye when attempting to sight a gun. He also reported bifrontal headaches responsive to aspirin. Acuity was 20/50 OD, 20/13 OS. His right eye could be refracted to 20/20 with a +2.50 sphere. A 0.3 right relative afferent pupillary defect was present. Automated perimetry showed an enlarged blind spot in the right eye; the left was normal. Choroidal folds were present in the right eye. No papilledema was present. Echography showed dilated optic nerve sheaths. Lumbar puncture showed an opening pressure of 310 mm Hg. MRI was normal. This case is an example of choroidal folds as a portent of increased intracranial pressure. |
