INTRODUCTION
Intracranial lesions may cause:
-serious ocular signs and symptoms
-neurological complications (raised ICT)
-cranial nerve impairment or brain compression
>50 % - present to an ophthalmologist
initially
Ophthalmologists play a vital role in
early diagnosis and proper referral.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ICSOL OCULAR FEATURES
1 Frontal lobe tumours(gliomas, meningiomas) Slight bulging of eye ball (ipsilateral).If extension into chiasm -foster
kennedy syndrome ,papilloedema,optic atrophy,psychic changes,
Alteration in character and temperament
2 Olfactory groove tumours (meningiomas)
Frontal lobe and optic nerve pushed up(simulates pituitary tumour)
3 Sphenoidal ridge tumours (meningiomas)
Proptosis
4 Pituitary tumours (adenomas)
Optic nerve ischemia then atrophy, Bitemporal heminopia, Colour
field defective
5 Suprasellar (Rathke's pouch) tumours
Papilloedema, diplopia(VI nerve involvement
(craniopharyngioma)
6 Median area tumours (Meningiomas)
Paralysis of V.VI,VII ,Homonymous hemianopia, Papilloedema
7 Temporal lobe tumours (Gliomas,
Contralateral homonymous hemianopia(Incongruous)
meningiomas)
8 Occipital tumours

9 Cerebellar tumours (medulloblastoma)
Coarse horizontal nystagmus,Bilateral papilledema,diplopia(VI nerve
palsy)

HOW DO WE CLINICALLY APPROACH........
24-03-2022
CLINICAL APPROACH
? HISTORY......v.v important
? Presenting complaint
? Past
? Family
? Personal habits
? OPHTHALMOLOGICAL:
? Vision (BCVA)
? Visual fields and colour perception
? Pupil ary reflexes
? Displacement of the eyebal .
24-03-2022
CLINICAL APPROACH
? Extraocular movements(gaze
palsy, paralytic squint or
nystagmus)
? Dilated fundus examination with IO
( papilloedema, papillitis, optic
nerve atrophy, retinal
haemorrages, arteritis,
atherosclerotic changes ,etc..)

HOW TO
INVESTIGATE...???
24-03-2022
investigations
? CBC with ESR

And other special investigations(if needed):
? Viral markers
? Mantoux test for Tuberculosis
? CSF analysis
? VDRL for syphilis
? Orbital biopsy
? FNAC of lesion
? X-Rays if needed
? Angiography
? Doppler ultrasonography
