Abstract
The Foster Kennedy Syndrome is an entity characterized by a progressive monocular visual loss due to an tumoral mass effect on the compromised eye and a subsequent contralateral visual loss due to the intracranial pressure generated by the tumoral expansion. In our case report discusses a progressive monocular field loss due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension which overtime starts with a progressive contralateral visual field loss mimicking a Foster Keneddy syndrome. Our case required a ventricular-peritoneal derivation to prevent a complete visual loss.
