Abstract
A healthy 39-year-old man presented to the emergency department with 2 days of nontraumatic severe left eye pain and progressive visual loss to the point of blindness. Upon physical examination, the patient reported only flashes of light in the left eye, with sluggish pupillary response and painful extraocular movements. The result of slit lamp examination was unremarkable, and ocular pressures were normal. The result of right eye examination was unremarkable. An emergency physician conducted point-of-care ocular ultrasound, demonstrating evidence of papilledema and optic nerve inflammation (Figures 1 and 2).
