| Abstract | We present the case of a 12-year-old boy with bilateral papilledema, relating moderate symptomatology and without an important medical history. 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. After two weeks of treatment with corticosteroids, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and hyperosmotic drug, the patient had an important structural and functional ophthalmological improvement. |
