Osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis causing a compressive optic neuropathy.

(c.1057C>T, p.Arg353Ter). Although the patient had a pre-existing, appropriately functioning, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, a subsequent MRI of the brain and orbits showed narrowing of the bilateral optic nerve canals secondary to osseous thickening causing bilateral optic nerve atrophy, worse on the left. The patient underwent staged bilateral orbital osteotomies, optic canal decompression, and bilateral frontal craniotomy, and at 11 months postoperatively, her vision remained stable. Conclusions: While up to 50% of the patients with OS-CS may experience hearing loss due to cranial nerve compression, we present a case of severe visual loss secondary to OS-CS-associated optic nerve compression.
