Compressive optic neuropathy can cause vision loss. A case report details vision restoration in a patient with renal osteodystrophy-induced cranial changes, highlighting a new association with uremic leontiasis ossea.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Compressive optic neuropathy is linked to various conditions, including tumors and trauma.
  • Renal osteodystrophy, a complication of chronic kidney disease, can manifest as uremic leontiasis ossea (ULO), causing significant bone changes.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old woman experienced acute visual deterioration.
  • Imaging revealed massive calvarial hypertrophy and optic canal stenosis secondary to ULO.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with compressive optic neuropathy due to ULO.
  • Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids and optic nerve decompression led to significant visual field restoration.

Implications:

  • This is the first reported case of cranial neuropathy associated with ULO.

  • Highlights the importance of considering ULO in the differential diagnosis of compressive optic neuropathy.
  • Suggests potential therapeutic strategies for vision recovery in ULO patients.
