title: Compressive optic neuropathy presenting with psychiatric symptoms.
abstract: We report a case of bilateral optic neuropathy presenting with psychiatric symptoms. A 50-year-old woman was admitted with blurry vision in both eyes. She had a 3 months' history of depressed mood. Both optic discs had mild temporal pallor with visible spontaneous venous pulsations. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a large frontal mass compressing the optic nerves. The tumor was surgically resected, and tissue pathology demonstrated an olfactory groove meningioma.
