Abstract
The authors present a case report of the rare Foster-Kennedy?s 'inverse' syndrome, the diagnosis of which was rather puzzling at the beginning. On the grounds of clinical signs and results of graphic examinations, the authors discuss the origin of the clinical manifestations caused by the intracranial meningioma.
If the clinical signs ? central scotoma with optic disc atrophy and contralateral papilloedema at the other side of the eye ground cannot be satisfactorily explained as being caused by some eye disorder ? graphic examination of the brain is to be indicated as soon as possible to exclude an intracranial tumor.
