Bilateral proptosis after post-traumatic hydrocephalus: a case report.
Hydrocephalus can cause several neuro-ophthalmological complications but only rarely has it been reported to cause proptosis. A 23-year-old woman developed post-traumatic hydrocephalus after a road traffic accident. She was found to have deteriorating visual acuity bilaterally and bilateral proptosis. Both these complications resolved after a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was inserted.
