title: [An unusual cause of compressive optic neuropathy].
abstract: Clinical manifestations of hydrocephalus vary according to the level of intracranial pressure, the speed of onset, and the etiological mechanism involved. We report the case of a 32-year-old patient with isolated compressive optic neuropathy associated with a dilated third ventricle, revealing congenital hydrocephalus.
