Hemangiopericytoma rarely affects the central nervous system (CNS) and usually presents to neurologists with neurological symptoms. We report a rare case of large CNS hemangiopericytoma which presented to an ophthalmologist with only signs of mild defective vision and papilledema.

Keywords: central nervous system; hemangiopericytoma; papilledema.
