Paraneoplastic papilloedema in a child with neuroblastoma.
Non-metastatic neurological disease complicating neuroblastoma is well recognized. Gross papilloedema in the absence of intracranial disease as initial manifestation of neuroblastoma is reported in adults. We report for the first time a case of bilateral papilloedema in a child with neuroblastoma in the absence of intracranial disease and hypertension.
