Pseudo-Foster Kennedy Syndrome is described as unilateral optic disc swelling with contralateral optic atrophy in the absence of an intracranial mass causing compression of the optic nerve. This occurs typically due to bilateral sequential optic neuritis or ischaemic optic neuropathy.
We describe a case of pseudo-Foster Kennedy Syndrome in a two year old boy with unilateral papilloedema due to a congenital optic disc anomaly in one eye preventing transmission of raised intracranial pressure to the optic nerve.
From our findings we conclude that congenital optic nerve hypoplasia is a cause of pseudo-Foster Kennedy Syndrome.
假性福斯特·肯尼迪综合征被描述为在没有导致视神经受压的颅内肿块的情况下，出现单侧视盘肿胀伴对侧视神经萎缩。这通常是由于双侧相继性视神经炎或缺血性视神经病变所致。
我们描述了一名两岁男孩的假性福斯特·肯尼迪综合征病例，该男孩因一只眼睛的先天性视盘异常导致单侧视乳头水肿，从而阻止颅内压升高传递至视神经。
根据我们的研究结果，我们得出结论，先天性视神经发育不全是假性福斯特·肯尼迪综合征的一个病因。
