    Nasal polyposis can cause severe bony destruction, leading to vision loss and neurological issues. This case highlights the importance of considering nasal polyps in patients with sudden visual impairment and cranial fossa erosion.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Nasal polyposis is common but rarely causes significant bony destruction.
    • Ophthalmologic and neurologic complications are infrequent but serious sequelae.

    Observation:

    • A young, healthy woman presented with sudden, acute bilateral visual loss.
    • Nasal polyps were identified as the underlying cause.

    Findings:

    • Extensive paranasal and nasal polyposis led to erosion of the anterior cranial fossa floor.
    • Optic nerve compression resulted from the bony erosion and polyp mass.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for nasal polyposis to cause severe bony destruction.
