Abstract
Abstract Foster–Kennedy Syndrome presents with optic atrophy in one eye and papilledema in the contralateral eye. It originates from a variety of intracranial pathologies, but most often a subfrontal mass. There is compression of the ipsilateral optic nerve by the intracranial mass, often an anterior cranial fossa meningioma. Females are mostly affected. Progressive visual loss, headache, vomiting, seizure episodes, psychiatric illness, diplopia, anosmia, and loss of consciousness are the common presenting features. We present a case of Foster–Kennedy syndrome in a 13-year-old girl child with optochiasmatic Glioma.
