Abstract:BACKGROUND
Visual impairment due to delayed optic neuropathy is a rare complication of the endovascular treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms. An inflammatory response induced in the treated aneurysm wall is a known mechanism underlying this pathophysiology. The authors describe a case with severe and progressive optic neuropathy leading to neuronal degeneration and severe visual dysfunction.

A 42-year-old female with a history of surgical clipping for a paraclinoid aneurysm presented with a recurre… Show more
