ABSTRACT

Intracranial hypertension is usually presented with papilledema and headache. Complete ophthalmoplegia without papilledema is a very rare finding of intracranial hypertension in children. A 5-year-old male patient with unilateral ophthalmoplegia due to increased intracranial pressure is presented. The fundoscopic examination and the magnetic resonance imaging of the brain were normal. He underwent lumboperitoneal shunt insertion for intracranial hypertension and the ophthalmoplegia was resolved one month later. Complete ophthalmoplegia without papilledema may occur following intracranial hypertension. Prompt and accurate diagnosis should be done and appropriate treatment to reduce the pressure should be performed to save the life of the children
