title: [Ophthalmologic involvement of intracranial tumors--report of a case].
abstract: Bilateral papillary edema is considered to be the expression of a tumoral process that reduces the intracranial space resulting in elevation of the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid pressure. The authors present the case of a 21-year-old man consulting for mild visual loss of the left eye. The ophthalmologic examination showed bilateral papilledema and visual field defects in the left eye (enlargement of the blind spot), with no clinic or imagistic signs of increased intracranial pressure. Intracranial pathologic processes that bear like a tumor, reducing the intracranial space are not always associated with papilledema, but papilledema is always associated with intracranial tumor. Increased intracranial pressure is frequently associated with intracranial tumoral processes, but in this case was not showed increasing of intracranial pressure.
