Abstract
A young woman of 26 years attended eye OPD with the complaints of complete and rapid loss of vision of her righ eye and progressive dimness of vision of left eye, frontal headache and nausea for last two months. On eye examination, she was found to have no perception of light to her right eye. Ophthalmoscopy examination revealed primary optic atrophy in right eye and marked papilloedema to her left eye. CT scan of brain showed space occupying lesion in right parasellar region with sellar and suprasellar extension with involvement of right anterior clinoid process suggesting medial sphenoid wing meningioma. The patient underwent surgery and the histopathology proved the diagnosis as meningioma. The case of medial sphenoid wing meningioma in a young female producing rapid Foster Kennedy syndrome is reported for its unusual presentation.
