Ophthalmological examination revealed a significant alteration of visual acuity, an important papilledema and macular edema in both eyes. Further investigations excluded infectious and autoimmune diseases, intracranial masses and congenital affliction. Because of an elevated opening pressure in lumbar puncture procedure, the diagnosis of intracranial hypertension was confirmed.
