Abstract
A 13‑year‑old child presenting with gross visual impairment
was diagnosed as a case of optic atrophy. However, radiological
investigations revealed osteopetrosis, which, though rare, can
result in optic atrophy. The aim of this case report is to highlight
this possibility while evaluating cases of optic atrophy in young
patients.
