Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Foster-Kennedy syndrome was described in 1911 as an ophthalmologic manifestation of compression by a solid tumor in the frontal area with intracranial hypertension (ICHT). We describe a peculiar case of Foster-Kennedy syndrome associated with an arteriovenous malformation in which neither optic nerve compression nor ICHT was obvious. We discuss the different pathogenic mechanisms to explain this case, for which a chronic venous hypertension was the most probable etiology.
