Abstract

Pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) is a rare condition which may cause visual impairment. Here we present the case of a 15-year-old boy with PSD. The vision was 10/10 and the intraocular pressure was in normal range for both eyes. Other eye examinations were normal except for a slight discoloration of the optic nerve. Optical coherence tomography showed a decrease in the thickness of the nerve fiber layer and the patient's primary field of vision had a mean deviation of -3.44 and -6.39 in the right and left eyes.
