Bilateral papilledema in a child with osteogenesis imperfecta.
BACKGROUND
To present a female child patient with osteogenesis imperfecta who had bilateral papilledema.


METHODS
A twelve-year-old girl with osteogenesis imperfecta was referred to our clinic. Bilateral best corrected visual acuity of the patient was 5/10 (corrected with +3.50 for right eye, +5.00 for left eye) with a standard Snellen scale at a distance of a 6 m. Anterior chamber, iris and lens examination of both of her eyes were unremarkable. In her fundus examination, bilateral stage 2 papilledema and the wrinkles in papillomacular area were noticed. Optical coherence tomography images revealed the macular pucker and thickening in the retinal nerve fibre layers of both eyes. Computed tomography images revealed that there were ossifications in the optic chiasma and occlusion in all periorbital sinus areas.


CONCLUSIONS
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare, autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterised by bone fractures, deafness and blue sclera. We would like to draw attention to the clinical course of our patient with computed tomography, optical coherence tomography and visual field findings.
