Abstract:
We report a 33-year-old Chinese gentleman who presented with visual epilepsy and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure in which clinical examination revealed normal visual fields and acuity despite Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain showing large contrast enhancing mass at the right occipital lobe.

He completed radiotherapy and recovered well except developing left inferior homonymous quadrantropia post operatively which improved with time.
