Visual loss "at stool".
A 25-year-old white man presented with a history of loss of consciousness and visual loss associated with a Valsalva maneuver. Examination revealed a visual acuity of "no light perception" in his right eye with a flat visual evoked potential. The patient was subsequently found to have a giant aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery which was treated by direct clipping via a transfrontal craniotomy. The patient slowly recovered good visual function in his right eye.
