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.
