Internal carotid artery aneurysm mimicking normal-tension glaucoma

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Differentiating glaucomatous from nonglaucomatous optic disc cupping remains challenging. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman with an internal carotid aneurysm of approximately 3.5 mm × 6.5 mm that mimicked normal-tension glaucoma. The patient had a 2-year history of low vision acuity in h...
