    Foster-Kennedy syndrome can mimic other conditions. This case highlights how giant cell arteritis can present atypically, emphasizing the need for thorough neuro-ophthalmology evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Vascular Neurology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Foster-Kennedy syndrome is characterized by unilateral papilledema and contralateral optic atrophy.
    • This presentation can be caused by various intracranial masses or inflammatory conditions.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of Foster-Kennedy syndrome, including papilledema in the right eye and optic atrophy in the left.
    • Initial investigations including radiographic examinations and lumbar puncture were unremarkable.

    Findings:

    • The diagnostic process involved considering differential diagnoses for the observed neuro-ophthalmic findings.
    • The patient was ultimately diagnosed with giant cell arteritis, an uncommon cause of this presentation.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering systemic inflammatory diseases, such as giant cell arteritis, in the differential diagnosis of atypical neuro-ophthalmic presentations.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely treatment and prevention of further vision loss or systemic complications.
