Pseudo-Foster Kennedy Syndrome Due to Diabetic Papillopathy

Abstract

Pseudo-Foster Kennedy is described when there is pallor in one eye and disc edema in the contralateral eye in the absence of any intracranial mass. In literature it has been usually reported in cases of Benign Intracranial hypertension, Ischemic optic neuropathies and Optic nerve hypoplasia. A fifty year old man presented with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus presented to us with optic disc pallor in the right eye and disc edema in the left eye. His vision was 20/20 in both the eyes. Other causes of disc edema were ruled out by appropriate investigations. We report a rare case of Diabetic papillopathy presenting as Pseudo-Foster Kennedy syndrome.
