5 Cortical blindness following acute obstructive hydrocephalus by a colloid cyst External ventricular drains inserted in emergency demonstrated a cerebrospinal fluid under pressure, above 40 cm H 2 0. CT angiogram didn’t show any thrombosis of the posterior cerebral arteries. Presumed ischemic mechanism was the acute compression of PCAs. After neurosurgical excision of the colloid cyst, she remained blind. Ophthalmology assessment confirmed the diagnosis of cortical blindness with macular sparing. C.
