Deskripsi
A 27-year-old female presented to the Clinic of Ophthalmology with the complaints of photophobia, headache, and diplopia. An ophthalmological examination indicated that her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes with decreased contrast sensitivity. Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral papilledema. The cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure was above normal at 38.5 cm H2O. Cranial magnetic resonance imagining venography revealed left lateral sinus thrombosis and right lateral sinus retardation of filling. Based on her history, laboratory tests, and neuro-imaging findings, she was diagnosed with vascular neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD). It is important to consider NBD in the differential diagnosis of patients with bilateral papilledema and intracranial hypertension.
