Summary

This case study highlights a rare instance of chronic subdural hematoma causing vision loss due to papilledema. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma successfully restored the patient's vision.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) is a rare condition.
  • CSH can present with varied neurological symptoms.
  • Papilledema is swelling of the optic disc, often indicating increased intracranial pressure.

Observation:

  • A 49-year-old male presented with blurred vision and bilateral nasal visual field defects.
  • Ophthalmological examination confirmed papilledema.
  • CT and MRI scans revealed bilateral subdural hematomas.

Findings:

  • The patient's visual impairment was directly linked to bilateral subdural hematomas causing papilledema.
  • Cerebral angiography showed no significant findings.
  • Surgical evacuation of the subdural hematomas led to complete recovery of visual symptoms.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering CSH in patients with unexplained visual disturbances and papilledema.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for visual recovery in such rare presentations.
  • Understanding the mechanism of visual impairment in CSH can improve clinical management.
