"Foster Kennedy syndrome"

Pearls & Oy-sters: Trigeminal Cystic Schwannoma Presenting With Foster Kennedy Syndrome, Sixth Nerve Palsy, and Focal Seizures. Foster Kennedy syndrome refers to a finding of optic atrophy in one eye from direct compression of the optic nerve by a mass lesion and contralateral papilledema in the non-atrophic optic nerve caused by increased intracranial pressure. When the fundoscopy finding is not due to a direct compressive mass, the term pseudo-Foster Kennedy syndrome is used; this can be caused by any process or processes that result in optic atrophy in one eye and optic disc edema in the other. Identifying Foster Kennedy syndrome in a patient calls for expedient neuroimaging looking for an intracranial mass lesion. In this paper, we present a case of a patient presenting with vision loss

Pseudo-Foster Kennedy Syndrome as a Rare Presentation of Vitamin B12 Deficiency Pseudo-Foster Kennedy syndrome is a triad consisting of ipsilateral optic atrophy, contralateral optic disc edema, and ipsilateral anosmia in the absence of an intracranial mass. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in DNA synthesis, and its deficiency causes peripheral neuropathy, myeloneuropathy, and, very rarely

retroperitoneal paragangliomas. A pituitary incidentaloma was found during investigations on a fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) (FDG-PET). A pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of a 14 mm pituitary macroadenoma. The pituitary function was normal except for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. On examination of the fundus, a diagnosis of Pseudo Foster-Kennedy syndrome was made due to a venous compression of the right jugular vein caused by the paraganglioma (PGL). The pituitary adenoma was not compressive to the optic chiasm. A treatment with acetazolamide was started in order to improve intracranial hypertension. The patient couldn't benefit of a surgical approach for the paraganglioma of the right jugular foramen; the patient has been treated

Unilateral Papilledema in Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis In the majority of patients with raised intracranial pressure, the papilledema is bilateral. Unilateral papilledema is rare in conditions causing intracranial hypertension, and it has been described in Foster-Kennedy syndrome and in some cases of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It has never been reported in cerebral venous

is characteristic although differentiation from papillitis may be difficult. Vision is rarely affected in acute papilloedema but peripheral vision may be lost in chronic cases where it is frequently accompanied by transient visual obscurations. Papilloedema will not occur in the presence of optic atrophy as in the Foster-Kennedy syndrome where there is unilateral optic atrophy and contralateral papilloedema , or if the optic nerve sheath on that side is not patent.Notes: * Foster-Kennedy Syndrome is characterized by papilloedema in one eye and optic atrophy in the other * results from simultaneous raised intracranial pressure and optic nerve compression secondary to tumour - classically, a meningioma of the olfactory groove, or more commonly, due to a meningioma of the sphenoid wing Last edited 07/2021

Victor Horsley's contribution to the Foster Kennedy syndrome. Although Foster Kennedy is the name given to the syndrome localizing an intracranial tumour with respect to papilloedema, it is important to recognize how Victor Horsley was one of the strongest proponents in the usefulness of that sign. Not only did he describe the constellation of findings before Kennedy did, he was also probably one of the people who had influenced Kennedy the most during the latter's time at the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases at Queen Square. It is therefore appropriate that Victor Horsley's characterization in 1910 of the findings that were later recorded as the Foster Kennedy syndrome, and that his altruistic encouragement of Kennedy's publication of the findings, receive recognition and appreciation
