A Unique Case Report on “Bilateral Optic Neuropathy as a Rare Manifestation of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension

Abstract

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an uncommon condition characterized by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume
through a dural defect leakage, which results in multiple debilitating clinical manifestations. Although ocular manifestations
are common, vision impairment due to SIH is not commonly reported. Optic neuropathy is a rare yet significant complication
of SIH. This case documents the association between optic neuropathy and SIH, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and
the complexities of managing this condition.
