Intracranial hypertension can cause optic nerve swelling and vision loss. Surgical intervention with a lumboperitoneal shunt improved visual function in a patient with pseudotumor cerebri.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Intracranial hypertension, also known as pseudotumor cerebri, presents a significant risk for visual impairment.
  • Optic nerve head edema (papilledema) is a key indicator of increased intracranial pressure.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old female patient presented with ocular and neurological symptoms attributed to intracranial hypertension.
  • Funduscopic examination revealed papilledema, accompanied by reduced visual acuity and visual field defects.

Findings:

  • Urgent surgical intervention was performed, involving the placement of a lumboperitoneal shunt.
  • Postoperatively, optic nerve head atrophy was noted, but visual acuity was preserved and visual field sensitivity showed improvement.

Implications:

  • Lumboperitoneal shunting can be an effective treatment for intracranial hypertension, mitigating severe visual loss.
  • Monitoring for optic nerve head changes and visual function is crucial following surgical management.
