Abstract

We report the case of 6-year-old boy who presented with mild redness in the left eye. On fundus examination, disk pallor was noted in both eyes. He did not complain of headache, vomiting, or blurred vision. Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) imaging was suggestive of craniosynostosis and lacunar skull (lückenschädel). Magnetic resonance imaging findings were suggestive of intracranial hypertension. HD-OCT imaging revealed optic neuropathy in both eyes. The patient underwent sutural release and expansion cranioplasty surgery.
