Late posttraumatic nonvascular pulsating eye.
A patient is reported with unilateral intermittent pulsating eye caused by the combination of an orbital encephalocele and hydrocephalus, thirty four years after a head injury. Treatment of the hydrocephalus resulted in disappearance of the eye pulsations and encephalocele, as well as in improvement of the gait.
