Unilateral Blindness in a Patient with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage after Rupture of Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
We present a case of unilateral blindness with subarachnoid hemorrhage after rupture of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Her corrected visual acuity was 1.2 in the right eye and no light perception in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed intrarerinal and subretinal hemorrhages and optic disc atrophy in the left eye. We speculated the condition as an ischemic optic neuropathy. Although the retinal hemorrhages were gradually reduced, her left visual acuity was still no light perception. We should be aware of the potential for subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting in optic nerve damage and retinal hemorrhage. Keywords: Subarachnoid hemorrhage, Ischemic optic neuropathy.
