“…In all previous cases of SNUC related optic neuropathy, one eye is affected more than the other eye,[ 5 ] or just only one eye affected,[ 9 ] while this case is totally blindness in both eyes. The possible mechanisms included infiltration or anatomical contact, such as encasement and decompression.…”

“…[ 8 ] In addition to retrobulbar optic neuropathy, other ophthalmic symptoms of the oculomotor nerve palsy, optic atrophy, and proptosis are possible manifestations. [ 9 ] Due to the frequent cranial invasion, there are several possible mechanisms to explain the sudden visual loss with intracranial mass lesions, including ischemia due to vascular compression of the visual pathways or demyelination secondary to compression.

Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma-related rhinogenic optic neuropathy is rare and may lead to visual loss. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of bilateral sequential visual loss induced by this etiology. It is important to differentiate between chronic sinusitis and malignancy on the basis of specific findings on magnetic resonance images. Surgical decompression with multidisciplinary therapy, including steroids, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, is indicated. However, no visual improvement was noted in this case, emphasizing the rapid disease progression and importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
